    This was our third time visiting and the place gets better every time. They are still working out the kinks of being a new restaurant, but the food is spectacular with a good selection of saki and wines that pair well with the fresh fish.

    There’s a lot of overrated, overpriced fine dining in the city. This is not that. Every cent you pay for this meal is worth it, and the service is just excellent. I’ve never had a more thoughtful, delicious meal (aside from grandma’s, of course). My friend took me here for their birthday because it’s their favorite steak in the city, and it’s my favorite too. So delicious that I had to come back twice in one week! Plus, they are mindful and considerate of allergies and have an excellent bourbon and wine list. I love that it’s one of the few places that isn’t super cold—I can wear my cutest outfits here. Best steak I have ever had, every time. Don’t pass up those potatoes, either!
