Great experience. Really interesting and good Japanese-style “tapas”. Lots of interesting dishes, with unique style that taste really good. The miso salmon was delicate and well balanced, the “pasta” was flavorful and delicious, the Teba chicken skewers were delicious. The atmosphere was dark with red lighting, the music was present but still could have a normal level conversation

Great luncheon today. Lots of menu choices for winter warmers. I had the beef stew. Tender and tasted great, with a small salad and some bread. Just the right size portions, not to big and not to small. My wife had the chicken stew, and equally as satisfying. Our server was very attentive. We've been here before-sometimes good, sometimes not so much- and this is the best experience we've ever had.

Juliana was our server and she was wonderful! We tried all the new stews, so delicious and very different from each other. The music today was banging good, kind of retro-really fun. If there was a couch in a book, we would not have left.
