My husband ordered the wagyu filet mignon and lobster mac n cheese. He loved it along with the Tokyo Bootlegger that he ordered. I got the beet salad and mushroom main course (vegan). They were delicious. I’m happy that there is an intimate dinning experience with at least some vegan options for me. We can’t wait to come back! The staff was super nice and gave us great suggestions.

We asked for the Teppan Communal Seating because this was the first time for some of our co-workers. Our server, Dega, was great and very attentive. Our Chef, Jacob, was entertaining and very personable. Great value for the lunch options that were available.
