    One of the best meals I've had in a long time! I started with the Yuzu Margarita and hubby had the Kyoto Old Fashioned. Both stellar and matched perfectly with our meal, which came out blazingly fast. First up was the Burrata Caprese. The Burrata sits in a yummy sea of slightly sweetened vinaigrette, cherry tomatoes, and basil. Then the popular Truffle Cheese Bread, also served with honey and two types of cheese. For the main, I had the Spicy Miso Carbonara, but cut back on the spice just a bit (which was perfect for me) and he had Black Cod and Clams. Every single dish (including cocktails) were to die for! Would love to try every single thing on their menu!

    Unique and delicious food with five star service in a beautiful ambiance. Came from south OC to try them and we were delighted. Our waiter alone would have gotten most of the stars for our review, but the kitchen also did an amazing job on our delightful dishes. We tried a few of their appetizers, entres and a salad all were very good and surprising, due to their uniqueness. The setting is also lovely and somewhat romantic.

    Atmosphere is very calming, tinkle lights shimmering and everyone is having light conversation with one another. The food was good I got the lamb rack with the sweet potato. Delicious. They know what they’re doing.

    Very popular restaurant and quite good, but not amazing. Service was good and ambiance quite nice too but, again, not a place I’d necessarily go out of my way to revisit.

    This restaurant is so worth a try. It combines excellent Italian cuisine with a hint of Japanese added for good measure. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the tomato and burrata salad with the Yuzu vinaigrette was so refreshing and the beef carpaccio was simply-melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The cocktails hit the spot and the service was friendly, maybe a bit to fast so ask your server to slow the process down. Inside the decor and friendly and warm. We're going back. Cheers!
