My husband ordered the wagyu filet mignon and lobster mac n cheese. He loved it along with the Tokyo Bootlegger that he ordered. I got the beet salad and mushroom main course (vegan). They were delicious. I’m happy that there is an intimate dinning experience with at least some vegan options for me. We can’t wait to come back! The staff was super nice and gave us great suggestions.

We asked for the Teppan Communal Seating because this was the first time for some of our co-workers. Our server, Dega, was great and very attentive. Our Chef, Jacob, was entertaining and very personable. Great value for the lunch options that were available.

Food delivery staff brought wrong meal, and waited over ten minutes for table waitress to come back by our table to mention error. Explained my meal was probably delivered to wrong table but could submit another order to chef. I elected to try to eat what was delivered, and the waitress comped the order. Regardless, I left a big tip for my appreciation of the effort.
