Food was good… not anything that blew my mind for the Price point, but good. You can spend less and get just as good of meal at just about any high end establishment in the city… the service was very good and the drink menu was great. The over all highlight was the drink and dish that came with a smoke dome as the presentation was fun! The drink was tasty however the smoked pork belly was underwhelming.

The indoor blossom tree creation adds a pretty ambience to the lively dining room. Overall, the food was mediocre and average. Servers were all nice and attentive. I would say we had higher expectations for the neighbourhood and price point. Honestly, though, we were lost as soon as we sat down and were asked to use the QR code for the menu. How cheap is that? Nice night out for dinner and we are expected to look at an extensive menu online and disconnect from our company, let alone memorize a long menu on a tiny screen. We asked for menus, while they had them, the print we were warned by the server was tiny - and they were correct. How about a little investment in actual nice menus? The QR experience cheapens the entire experience. This restaurant is a one and done. thanks.

A delightful meal from start to finish, albeit an expensive one. Our server, Maria, was attentive and provided excellent recommendations, especially the steak tartare—it was our favorite dish, and one we wouldn't have ordered on our own. We'll be back, but only for special occasions.

Probably the best meal I’ve had. It’s great atmosphere the pickled lotus root martini was phenomenal. The miso black cod blew us away and the service was kind and very explanatory. The ambience is really neat. Definitely a splurge/special occasion/if you’re real wealthy kind of place haha but I enjoyed it.

Good fusion restaurant - some elements of Japanese but differentiated. Dishes are creative and all well presented. We've been here several times. Service is good and cocktails well made without the added sugar prevalent in so many bars. The only slightly annoying issue is being asked to leave an extra tip on top of the mandatory 20% service charge. It's just not right.
