Excellent meat quality and service. Price is on higher side for meat, so not as good value.

OMG! What a gastronomic delight! Everything in the prefixe menu was excellent and beautifully presented. We also received the cutest mini brioche with two types of butter in shape of puzzle pieces. So good! Wagyu beef was so tastefully done! They even gave us a parting gift which was a tube if Valrhona chocolate either hazelnuts. Serve was excellent! Definitely going back!

There was about a 20-25 minute wait despite our reservation, but the food more than made up for the delay. Definitely on our short list to return.

Best ever sashimi - Like eating butter. Owners and waiter were so warm and friendly. Ordered two of their specials for the evening. Out of this word. They will even deep fry your fish bones and shrimp heads which were outstanding. You will love it! BYOB

Food and service was amazing. Location is mediocre with outside deck being basically a parking lot, but the food and friendly vibe overcome that. “Lost at Sea” cocktail was so delicious (apparently lime + nutmeg is yummy) and the lamb chops tapas were our favorite. The cheesecake (purple sweet potato) was really unique and scrumptious. We will be back…
