Elvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.

Went for solo dinner. Amazing. The truffle sashimi alone was worth the trip! Wagyu Surf & turf roll also great. Keep the sauce from the sashimi you’re going to want it on everything! Lychee’s Sake amazing. Finish off with the pistachio cheesecake. Loved everything.
