This is a restaurant you go to for a special occasion because it is so well-liked and challenging to reserve a table. There were uncountable courses served, starting with the appetizers, and every one of them was outstanding and impressive. Three staff members simultaneously brought out each person's dish even though there were only three of us, demonstrating their thoughtful and caring service. Few restaurants give customers such consideration. Although the atmosphere in the restaurant is not opulent, it is warm and inviting, allowing you to unwind and enjoy your meal without feeling intimidated. At the conclusion of our meal, the owner chef stopped by to say hello. His warm demeanor made a lasting impression. Here is

This is a restaurant that you go to for a special occasion because it is a very popular restaurant that is really difficult to book. The number of courses served, starting from the appetizers, was uncountable, and all of them were impressive and excellent. We went with three people, but three staff members simultaneously brought out each person's dish, which showed their thoughtful and attentive service. There aren't many restaurants that provide such consideration. The restaurant's atmosphere is not luxurious, but it has a warm and welcoming feeling where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling intimidated. The owner chef came to say hello at the end of our meal, and his kind and friendly personality left a very positive impression. This is a restaurant that will leave a lasting memory, and I truly feel lucky to have had the opportunity to dine there.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! The most incredible and unforgettable dinner. Every course, every sake and wine pairing and presentation was immaculate. They even notice the little things like how my husband is left handed so they would serve his meal the opposite way from the 5 others at the table who was right handed. Our server Devon was so funny, engaging and entertaining. The chef came out at the end to say hello too and I just finished eating the brownie they packed for us to enjoy. Thanks for the great time!
