   Exceptional service and food--each dish was unique, and had a flavor profile that we had never tasted before. The miso black cod was our favorite. The wagyu bread was 'wow', and the Thai salad burst in our mouth with amazing flavors. The service from those bussing to our server were outstanding. A true gem--we will be back!

   Incredible food and wonderful service! I absolutely loved sitting at the counter - got to take in the whole kitchen experience. I will certainly come back any time I’m in San Diego!

   This has been a solid establishment for years but it’s drifting away from what once was fine dinning. Service was bleak we had to serve our wine , water was never topped off, and 2 courses came at the same time . Also main course was served while my date was in bathroom- obviously getting cold. The short rib - main dish was very overdone tasted like cardboard with sauce. This is not the first time we experienced this level of disappointment. The attention to details in the menu and ingredients it’s long gone I think it’s time to take a long break.

   The taste of food is alright, but value wise? Definitely not. 160$ for 4 course, I taste a lot of sand in the oysters. I am not a picky person, but for this price, I expect something better. The short rib was good, very creamy sauce. The desert Black Forest cake was pretty creative, but tasted average. Just a cake. If the whole meal is around 100$ I’d say it’s worth it. But 160$/person (no beverages or alcohol ordered) it’s kinda overpriced.

    Food was pricy but delicious and unique. Went early and had to wait for our reservation even though it was almost empty. Food came out quickly but our waiter didn’t come over for 40-45 minutes. Wanted more wine and dessert but waited too long so got dessert somewhere else. The rest of the staff was excellent.
