In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor. Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

The truffle salmon, chicken wings, and toro tartar are absolute must-tries—each dish is uniquely delicious! Peter, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure every request was handled perfectly. Fantastic experience!

Great restaurant, delicious food. Fantastic vibe to the place. Waiter could’ve been calmer and nicer regarding my ID lol. If he had a magnifying glass he would’ve used it. However I did get my drinks because it’s my REAL ID but aside from that great time.
