Food is beautifully presented and tasted excellent. Service was superb. Restaurant is amazingly quiet in spite of large area and presence of other customers. We were able to enjoy our conversation as well.

This place was a wonderful experience. Great wine and cocktail list, beautiful ambience, excellent service, and the food was a masterpiece. Sophisticated without being pretentious. The abalone and the tuna crudo were standout dishes, as were the salmon, lobster and ribeye. We will definitely return!!

Pricey for the level of service. We spent $36 on 3 bottles of water and our glasses were empty most of the time (they refill the water as it’s not on the table). It took 40 minutes to get our $75 steaks which were warm not hot. They forgot to bring the sides with the steaks. Overall it felt like they ate understaffed for the level of service required.

Very busy because of Valentines Day, but it took 1 hour between first and second courses (of 5). The staff was apologetic, but that was it, just apologetic. We weren’t offered anything otherwise. It seems for such a high-end experience that would have been the case.

Food was well executed but lacked flavor. Service staff was attentive and friendly but courses were poorly paced. 4 course dinner took over 3 hours. Had a good experience overall but definitely not worth the price.

Valentines Day dinner with a pre fixe menu. Nice venue. Service through the dinner was very good, especially given the occasion and the busy restaurant. The food courses were a mixed bag. First course of Ikura with sunchoke panna cotta and matcha was delicious and creative. Easily the best course of the dinner. Foie gras was forgettable. Risotto with mentaiko was tasty, but the consistency of the rice seemed off. Short rib was ok albeit not memorable. Dessert course was ok. Overall, I’ll be back largely based on the warm service and to try more food on the regular menu.
