With influence from Atlanta's lush canopy of trees and Japanese arts and crafts, the bar and lounge area features a white onyx bar volume that sits in front of a 12-foot-long river rock art installation while folded cast glass pendants cast a soft glow on the bar. The dining room takes you to traditional Japanese garden pavilions that were often used for ceremonies and rituals while overscale pendants made from shoji paper create the look of elongated, abstracted paper lanterns. Design language that is a continuation of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's imaginative and innovative culinary offerings celebrates nature and is integrated through the use of different wood tones

    Booked a reservation at LAS with only 15 minutes to spare and the only option available was a high top. Upon arriving to the hostess stand, I asked if a standard table was available as I was with my 8 year old daughter and both hosts accommodated me immediately. We sat in the main dining room at the back and our server Mark was incredibly attentive and kind. He let me know of the specials, the items not listed on the menu like onion rings & the charred broccoli. Everything was tasty as usual. This is my husband and I’s favorite steakhouse so to bring our daughter after Alvin Ailey’s show was really full circle. I always order the wet aged ribeye, opted for the onion rings instead of the fries, lobster Mac and cheese because duh & the charred broccoli. The broccoli was probably my favorite thing AFTER the cheesecake of the day. Yes, dessert is always to be had on a day like today. Thanks everyone for the accommodations tonight with such short, short notice.

Coming back just for these alone. The Parmesan rice with truffle butter 🤯🤩🥳 was a flavor party in my mouth… it’s rich creamy, comes to the table sizzling and bits of mushrooms throughout. Never knew I needed something so 😋 tasty.

    The food was spectacular. Pasta side with swordfish and a sea bass main. Bottle of wine, a half dozen oysters and a salad were all the fixings. Service was great, very attentive. Great ambiance and really high ceilings add to the atmosphere. Definitely will do this again!
