Best meal I've ever had, sharing many dishes with my family here. The pâté en croûte, scallop ceviche, hanger steak, and Brussels sprouts were all to die for. Service and ambiance also impeccable. This is the kind of restaurant they make movies and tv shows about, expertly run by a wonderful team and head chef.

We are frequent visitors and each experience is as exquisite as the next. The menu is authentically Japanese. The sushi is fresh, the miso soup and appetizers are all so very delicious and the chef and team are excellent. They are warm, kind and take excellent care of the customers. Highly recommended!
