    We loved the ambience and finding a restaurant that was calm and easy to have conversation. That food was fantastic and loved the creative expression of the chefs. Wonderful flavour and presentation. It was also so cool that chef or sous chef came a brought a dish. The server was lovely and helpful. Would highly recommend this place!

    We had a wonderful time at this restaurant! The food was incredible, the service was excellent, and the vibe was so romantic—highly recommend! The only thing that could be improved is the server’s knowledge of the drink menu. We ordered the premium sake flight, but when we asked for details, the server simply Googled the names from the labels. From past experiences at Japanese izakayas, servers are usually well-versed in sake and enhance the experience by explaining the different types. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. That being said, the food was absolutely top-notch! We’d definitely come back.
