Cafe Hiro's 2017 Christmas Eve Prix Fixe Dinner
This year, like all years, we celebrated Christmas at Cafe Hiro with its Christmas Eve prix fixe. And this year, like all years, it did not disappoint.
The cost was $49 per person and to us Cafe Hiro regulars, the meal felt like a culmination and retrospective of all the great dishes we've been eating all year.
A lot of lillies were gilded that night. Chef Ohiwa upgraded some of his greatest hits with special add-ons and extra touches. For his usual scallop carpaccio, he tucked uni under the daikon fold. For the uni pasta, he added three sautéed scallops (and as an extra treat for us, shaved black truffles).
And Christmas Eve is one of the few times when he does a roast beef that puts to shame all prime ribs I've ever had before. Succulent, juicy, it was red meat at its most pleasurable.
We swooned at every bite, moaned at every morsel. This year, like all years, Ohiwa had outdone himself.

Hi Yon,
Cafe Hiro typically has two prix fixe meals like this per year: Christmas Eve and Valentine's. And they're taking reservations for the Valentine's one now, if I'm not mistaken!
