The food was so good. And our waiter knew so much about the types of fish and types sake. The food, drink, and education was all well worth the pretty high price.

It’s our second time here and we loved it the same! Luckily Jules was our server again. She’s why we came back! She’s pleasant and have broad knowledge of the meat served here. We also liked that there are many different cuts of beef to choose from. Our favorites were the Harami skirt steak and the Bistro Hanger. The cubed A5 is very good too! We will sure come back and may try the 10 person semi private at the Southeast corner of the restaurant.
