    A delightful meal from start to finish, albeit an expensive one. Our server, Maria, was attentive and provided excellent recommendations, especially the steak tartare—it was our favorite dish, and one we wouldn't have ordered on our own. We'll be back, but only for special occasions.

    We sat at the counter and ordered the rolls recommended by the chef. They were absolutely delicious—each bite bursting with freshness and high-quality ingredients. The chef was not only skilled but also warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I wanted to try Sake but wasn’t sure which one to choose. After describing my preferences to the waiter, he thoughtfully brought us three different Sakes to sample. Once we selected our favorite, he explained the traditional way to drink it, adding a special touch to the experience. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was truly a fantastic dining experience—one I would highly recommend!
