    Probably the best meal I’ve had. It’s great atmosphere the pickled lotus root martini was phenomenal. The miso black cod blew us away and the service was kind and very explanatory. The ambience is really neat. Definitely a splurge/special occasion/if you’re real wealthy kind of place haha but I enjoyed it.

    Good fusion restaurant - some elements of Japanese but differentiated. Dishes are creative and all well presented. We've been here several times. Service is good and cocktails well made without the added sugar prevalent in so many bars. The only slightly annoying issue is being asked to leave an extra tip on top of the mandatory 20% service charge. It's just not right.

    Overall, it felt as though you are paying high prices for the prettiness of the venue, but nothing else was special. The hostess booth area is small and unless you get seated right away or wait outside then you will be in the way and will feel it. The food and drinks were nothing special. The drinks were very sweet. None of the food was bad, but is food you can get at any other good sushi spot for less money. The A5 wagu hot stone was underwhelming and just tasted like any other Korean bbq place. The star of the show was the ube crème brûlée, that was delicious and well done. It was my birthday and I was given cream puffs that tasted like store bought freezer ones with terrible pastry texture. So, I assume that’s why those are given as a free birthday dessert. Also, heads up that any table size has an included 20% service fee. Cute place, over hyped.
