Service by Miles at the bar was outstanding. He instantly made me comfortable. When making recommendations he wanted to know my tastes to help point me in the right direction. He definitely succeeded. With minor adjustments, thanks to Miles, I had the Holiday Kaiseki. NOT ONE BAD BITE from beginning to end of these 7 courses. Fish and seafood, fresh and bright. Wagyu Steak just the right amount of fat. The dessert of eggnog mousse and apple filling. Do I feel guilty? Yes. But I’d do it all over again. A shouldn’t miss meal.

This was phenomenal. I was skeptical when booking about the cost ($325/person), but it was exceptional. The service was superb! The food was insanely good. Makes me wonder what a 3 Michelin star Japanese restaurant is like if this is only a 1!!! I felt they were at least a 2 star!
