    Wonderful meal. Decibel Martini and Army Navy cocktail were both delicious. Black sesame Parker house rolls with butter and house cured ikura were so good! Abalone and shrimp pot pie was very good, and Koji-roasted chicken was juicy and wonderful. Very attentive service.

    This restaurant is a perfect choice for a memorable date night. While not inexpensive, it delivers exceptional value with outstanding cuisine. The limited menu showcases each dish beautifully, and our indulgence in caviar was a true highlight—served with all the classic accompaniments in an elegant presentation. The ambience is both stylish and refined, and the service strikes a great balance: attentive and friendly without being overbearing. It is not the sort of place for a casual dinner or a spontaneous drop-in, but it is ideal for special occasions, especially for married couples with kids looking to celebrate. Highly recommended for a treat-worthy evening out.
