A French-Japanese bistro in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.

Reservations are always recommended, but we are often able to accommodate walk-ins as well.

While we love dogs, we can only accept trained service animals (not emotional support animals) both in our dining room as well as on our outdoor patio. We appreciate your understanding.

The ticket price includes a 6-course menu of French-Japanese dishes, including 'year-crossing' soba in classic Japanese fashion, as well as a sparkling wine toast at midnight for those who stay to count down with us. Additional supplemental celebratory menu items will also be available à la carte. Our full wine and sake list that includes lots of Champagne and sparkling sake will also be available, as well as festive cocktails from our bar team.

A delicious new addition to the Arts District dining scene. Delicious and interesting preparations, attentive service, a fantastic cocktail program and excellent wine/sake list. Well worth a visit.

The food, ambiance, value were fine, but our server was absolutely horrible, which made the whole experience a 1/5. My girlfriends and I make precious time out of our busy schedules to have our monthly dinners. All of us were servers at one point of our lives as well, so we are respectful, appreciative, and tip well, but the interactions we had with the server felt argumentative and burdensome. We have never been treated like this before— the whole experience was incredibly uncomfortable.

Hidden restaurant on side street. Gets crowded after 6 pm. They open at 5 pm. The food are like side order portion. Fusion style. Fresh and tasty. Clams needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. Grainy tasting. Parking available with valet for $18.

The food is excellent, the service attentive. Our only two complaints were (1) it was too loud, and (2) the room was cold until about 9:45, when it seemed that heat was turned on. The room, although feeling less large than when Church and State was in the space, is never going to feel cozy . . .

First of all the dirty martini was exceptional in taste and presentation! I would return for the martini alone. We ordered 5 courses. The initial bites from the raw menu were good but it really got special as we worked our way to course 3,4,5. The squash with burrata was delicious! Really loved the scallops and duck frite. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu.
