Dined at Two Nine on 3/7. Food was okay, service was great, and overall great experience.

However as I went through the photos just now I accidentally found out that the sea urchin they served seemed to past the best before date of 3/6 which left a weird aftertaste to the whole experience.

I know technically those sea urchins are still edible and not expired per se, but just not “at their prime,” but I would not expect to be served food...
Lunch: Order from a kiosk and they will give it to go, or you can go upstairs to their seating area.

The hand rolls were excellent. The bowl, very good. The only knock here is they are understaffed. They had a major line but only two people working? The order took 30+ minutes and there were only four groups ahead. Can't imaging the wait for when the line really hit. Just an FYI, you'll likely need patience at prime time lunch.
Dinner was excellent. The food was delicious, with flavors that were both diverse and complex. The salmon roe was easily the best I’ve ever had, it was savory and full of umami without being fishy at all. I also had the chance to try some novel items, like monkfish liver and limpet clams. The chef was friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole meal a wonderful experience.
