tigsmom - we did enjoy ourselves, moreso on the second dinner trip, except for the puking, and especially because we knew not to eat the bread.
The bread has a yellow corn bread color to it, and they give it to you at the beginning of the meal. I eat anything, and it is the first and only bread that a restaurant has ever served that i couldn't eat.
And the reason for the puking kid - another Jiko foul up. He wasn't truly sick/ill. The wait staff brought him a bowl of vanilla ice cream, and it was supposed to have the mickey mouse jimmies on top. Well it didn't. But of course he ate some of it, because who would take ice cream away from a baby?... So they brought him another bowl of ice cream with mickey jimmies on top, and after all of that and a dinner too, he hurled. Which made for a sad ending to a better meal.
Worst of all, the chef who was nice enough to send us a personal letter requesting us to give Jiko a second chance for free, wanted to meet us at the end of dinner, and we had to leave in a hurry because there was puke allover my kid and the table. You can imagine how that meeting went: Hi, the meal was great, but my kid just overdosed on ice cream and puked allover, gotta go, bye... In the end, we look back on it and laugh, and know that we learned his limit on the quantity of ice cream he can consume.
My simple point was watch out for the bread
