Dinner at Kinobo was unforgettable and delicious. Perfect for my first experience of Kaiseki for my first time in Kyoto. Each 8 courses was thoughtful, balanced and flavorful with fresh ingredients. Service was exceptional and the private dinning room was beautiful, soothing and serene and highly complimentary to the food. I had an allergy which was accommodated creatively. Rather than remove the offending ingredient the course was changed or modified to create a unique experience. Kionbo is unmissable if you want to experience Kaiseki.

With so many amazing places to eat in Kyoto I would not recommend Kinobu. Our reservation was initially made by our hotel concierge for 12.30, pushed back on our request to 13.30 - and accepted by the restaurant. We arrived early at 13.10. The lady who served us was kind and hospitable. However, our meal was extremely rushed. At one point, we were still eating our sushi when our stew arrived, and we were still eating our stew when our barracuda arrived. We had three courses on the table at the same time. I do not think this is acceptable at any restaurant, but certainly not one with a Michelin star. We asked our server if we could have five minutes before the next course. Very soon after, our next course arrived. There was no time to sit and enjoy and let our food settle before we were required to eat the next course. We then asked our server again for a 10 minute break. This was quite awkward because she then told us that the kitchen closes at 15.00. We did not come to a ramen restaurant to eat quickly and leave. If there was not enough time for us to enjoy our menu, we should have been told at the time when we booked. Instead we felt very rushed, were not able to enjoy our food, and felt pressurised to leave the restaurant soon after we had finished. In fact, we were almost chased out! This was not the private dining Michelin meal that we had been hoping to enjoy. There were some other issues:- - there was very limited explanation of the dishes, just the main ingredients. When eating at a Michelin restaurant where people from all over the world come, I thought perhaps we could have received an English menu with some more detailed explanation of the food we were eating, even if run from Google translate - we received one dish of barracuda with some lotus root and sweet potato. The barracuda lacked flavour and was dry and not pleasant to eat - At the end when we received the bill, there were taxes, 15% service and another item in addition to pay. This was also not clear when we booked, or on the website Overall, we felt as though we paid more than expected (over JPY 25,000 per person with one drink each) for an experience that was very disappointing. When raising the above directly with the restaurant they refused to make amends and blamed our experience on the hotel concierge for not checking the kitchen opening times - a very sad lack of accountability and care over customer feedback.
