Hi Emily! Was just doing a quick Dis check before going to bed, and I was happy to see that your reviews have started! The pics from Jiko are awesome (especially considering Jiko's dark lighting
), and I'm so glad to see that your dinner there was positive overall, from (most of) the food to the staff.
The descriptions of your entree and the apple cheesecake are making me hungry too.
I can't wait to read more
DDW!!!!!
Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. It was an exciting time to learn a little more about my camera and lens.
We definitely thought about you during this meal. We're so glad we tried it.
Woo Hoo - you've started !!
Isn't Jiko just fabulous? I'm so glad that you and your Mom had such a great meal there
I can tell already that I am going to really enjoy your reviews, you have a wonderful, descriptive writing style and I'm really looking forward to the next one
Hi Linda!!
Thanks! We'll certainly be returning as soon as possible. Haha
Aww! Thank you. I'm so glad. It should be up soon.
Jiko, our new MUST DINE restaurant!!!! Loved it! We were so excited to start our girl trip with this place. Thanks to all of you who gave a shout out to this place!
Agreed!
Your meal looked wonderful! We have eaten at Jiko a few times ... most of them spectacular. I look forward to going back.
Can't wait for the rest of your reviews ... the pictures are WONDERFUL!
Thanks Vicki! I can't wait to hear all about your upcoming trip!
Ooh the short ribs look so good! I've never been to a signature before (we don't do the DP), but if I do, Jiko is at the top of the list!
They were fabulous! If you ever do try Jiko, I definitely recommend them. After this trip, Jiko is on my shortlist of favorite signatures.
Yay!! So happy your reviews have started!
Your meal at Jiko looks and sounds spectacular, and what a nice gesture on the part of the manager in response to the overcooked fillet. That's the kind of attention and service that generates loyalty.
Your description of the cheesecake really intrigues me, as like you, I'm not a big fan of cheesecake. If it's still on the menu this fall, I think I'll have to try it. My sister and I will be trying this restaurant for the first time on our upcoming trip, and your review and photos have me even more excited about it!
Can't wait for more.
Hi MrsB!
I agree. We weren't expecting such generous service, but it's part of what makes you look back on a dining experience happily. We've eaten places where the food was pretty good, but something was off with the service and it makes us hesitant to want to go back. It's nice to see a restaurant's staff go above and beyond.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you try the cheesecake; I was. I was expecting the typical bland, kind of soggy, very heavy cheesecake, but it's the exact opposite. I'm so glad for your excitement over trying Jiko! It's a very unique and enjoyable dining experience. I hope you and your sister enjoy it as much as we did.
Your meal at Jiko looks amazing! One of these days, I'll have to make a trek over to AKL and eat there.
Looking forward to the rest of your reviews!

Thank you!
It really is worth the trek. And it really is a trek if you're not staying at the resort, but by the time you get there, you'll be plenty ready to eat! lol
Yours is the second review of Jiko that I have read in the last 30 minutes and I now must get it on our agenda for our December trip (our August trip is already full). Your mom's steak looks absolutely wonderful as do your short ribs. How nice of the manager to do that for you guys.
Hi there, KatMark! I'm so glad to hear that you'll be trying Jiko as well. I'm sure you'll love it.
As of now, we are planning on being there in August and December as well. What a small world!
I must eat at Jiko sometime! The reviews always look so delicious.
Hi Debra! I really do suggest that you try it. It's a wonderful dining experience.
By the way, after reading your dining review for Chefs de France, I'm so excited to try something new there next time. Everything looked delicious!
