Nice & creative menu. We stayed in an Airbnb nearby & happened to stop in for a quick dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Only down side is that they do not have a full bar so my husband couldn’t have his martini before dinner.
I had high expectations since it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, but there wasn't anything particularly special about it. The tables are so close together that you can hear every word of the neighboring conversation. The space felt cramped overall, and most importantly, I left feeling far from full.
A cute little spot that’s perfect for celebrating a special occasion. The appetizers were a standout - the focaccia was incredibly soft and fresh, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly charred and crispy, and the burrata with beets was delicious. While the mains were less memorable, we did enjoy the truffle risotto, but the other pasta dishes were a bit bland. Dessert was truly the highlight of the meal. The pistachio cake was fantastic, and the chocolate soufflé cake with vanilla ice cream and toasted sesame was great as well. Overall, we had an enjoyable dining experience
Warm and lovely food and service with a few memorable standouts and a few forgettable items. We did the 8-course tasting menu and add on A5 dumplings. One party member added the wine pairing. The earlier dishes were all knockouts. We loved the fried rockfish and oyster. The slaw was really vibrant and contrasted the crisp fry nicely. The halibut crudo was a table wide favorite, so bright and yummy! The uni creme brulee was unique, tasty, and generous. The scallop and rice dish was fantastic especially the rich broth (mushroom dashi) which my husband and I both said we could just drink a bucket of. The last two dishes were both a bit okay. The porchini ravioli was good but felt a bit one note. The venison plate was the biggest off note for the table. The venison itself just lacked any game flavor which seemed to defeat the purpose over a beef cut, and the composition of the plate felt a bit off, we weren't sure which parts should be mixed because each element was like 3" apart plating wise. The bean salad was absolutely amazing on the plate though it was two tiny bean cuts. They brought two additional dishes, an amuse bouche I missed the description of maybe a cauliflower puree with caviar, and a Japanese milk toast with butter. Both were fairly forgettable, especially the milk toast. Dessert was good with the panna cotta being everyone's favorite while the chocolate hoho felt a bit too much. Really good food, wish we'd enjoyed the second half as much as the first but personal prefer as well!
Highly recommended. A very non pretentious upscale dining restaurant. The quality was upscale (as are the prices) but it seemed very fun and casual otherwise. Approachable I would say. I posted photos but didn't catch the menu so not quite sure what the dishes were called. The squash soup, uni creme brulee, the beef and the panna cotta were all very good.
