    Business lunch, busy, and a bit noisy, but really excellent food. Would go again and remember that my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Ha1

    Very pretty setting. Food was excellent. Our server was outstanding. He was attentive, but not to the point of being obtrusive. The sommelier recommended a wonderful bottle of sake which was actually lower in price than the range I specified. This restaurant is very expensive, but it is a fairly unique establishment and I was aware of the pricing going in, so it was not a surprise. I would certainly return for a special occasion.
