MR. NAKAMOTO

Disappointing evening at Mr Nakamoto.

We came across this place and were excited to come and try. We booked online and easily got a table for the same night.

We arrived about 20 minutes earlier and thought we’d start off with drinks in the bar, there were a few events taking place (big crypto events taking place across Cannes) so the place was a bit hectic and we didn’t even see the bar.

The outside dining was very pretty. We sat down and decided to have cocktails first. The cocktail menu has a good selection of unique cocktails to the venue as well as classic cocktails.

We ordered wagyu nigiri, and spicy tuna rolls and edamame to start with. Starters came relatively quick and Nigiri and rolls were nice so off to a good start. We then ordered a selection of dim sum. Which didn’t come after 5, 10, 15 minutes. The venue was getting busier (a few larger tables) and we started to feel service was sliding. When the starters were cleared we ordered two glasses of whispering angel.. also didn’t come.

Eventually we managed to get our waiter and asked if the dim sum was still coming. His reaction clearly showed he had forgotten to follow up and his service was getting worse.. we also then had to remind him for our rose. We saw him behind the bar so evidently the team were stretched and all running around.

Back he came with the rose.. but no glasses. Our main - the black cod came and we ordered the broccoli to go with it. We were also presented either the dim sum.

We weren’t told which each dim sum was but it was very sticky and stuck a lot to the steamed box. The black cod was disappointing. Dry and I had 3 bones in my half - the Broccoli was also cold.

The waiter came back and asked how it was (he knew) and we said we’re very disappointed, mentioned the bones and the cold broccoli. He just said shall I take it all away?

We just then asked for the bill, he didn’t even ask if we wanted to see the dessert menu. To be honest I think he just wanted to avoid us because he knew we weren’t happy. We weren’t making a fuss, we were polite and nice about the experience given how disappointing it had been.

Just a shame that no effort was made to try and recover the situation. Wasn’t liking or expecting a freebie or anything but at least would have made us feel like our experience has been acknowledged.

Exceptional experience. Delicious food and great atmosphere. Thank you Thomas for such a great service!

Fourth time visiting Mr Nakamoto, usually I come for dinner and today was a lovely lunch. I always came back for the delicious and fresh food. The next time I will return at lunch to have the chance to see again Carine! Her sense of service and kindness were greatly appreciated by mother and I.
