I've loved Japonais for a long time, but I have never felt the need to review until now.\n\nIt seems like the menu has changed.  Some things I used to love like the kobe beef sliders, which were AMAZING, are now gone.  Replaced by some angus beef excuse for a menu item that was really disappointing.  It may not be their fault for moving things off the menu, but it's very disconcerting for a patron that comes to eat here pretty frequently and expects to eat the food they were hoping to eat.\n\nSecondly, the service has always been phenomenal also, but on this last trip our food took literally ONE HOUR to arrive from after we ordered it.  I don't care how fancy a restaurant is, that is too long to wait.  On top of that, the only thing I wanted off of the now limited menu was the short ribs which \"they were out of\". sigh.\n\nJaponais has been a great restaurant for a long time and I hope they can turn things back around soon.
