Tips
- Japanese whiskey highball, scallops, seaweed salad, the octopus... the yuzu dessert... Sad this place is closing at the end of April 2016.
- Try the lamb with shishito peppers: perfectly tender
- Beef short ribs
- Halibut is spectacular - smooth, buttery, and moist. The monkfish wasn't as good. Peach compote was refreshing but will try a different dessert next time.
- Hamachi Tataki
- Really unique menu, with great seasonal food. Scallops and artichoke gnocchi were out of this world
- Great food, great atmosphere and great staff. Definitely need to check out!!
