    There’s a lot of overrated, overpriced fine dining in the city. This is not that. Every cent you pay for this meal is worth it, and the service is just excellent. I’ve never had a more thoughtful, delicious meal (aside from grandma’s, of course). My friend took me here for their birthday because it’s their favorite steak in the city, and it’s my favorite too. So delicious that I had to come back twice in one week! Plus, they are mindful and considerate of allergies and have an excellent bourbon and wine list. I love that it’s one of the few places that isn’t super cold—I can wear my cutest outfits here. Best steak I have ever had, every time. Don’t pass up those potatoes, either!

    Among the best omakase meals I've ever had. A delicious opening tasted course to start strong. The last 5 bites of the meal were each better than the last. You have to try The Toast!
