Discover an elevated dining experience shaped by a playful West-meets-East philosophy, where Chef Ry Nitzkowski brings a distinctly New York perspective to Western interpretations of Japanese cuisine. Set against Louis Rigal’s striking 1931 Wheel of Life mosaic, Yoskoku evolves throughout the day — from a Japanese-inspired afternoon tea service that reimagines the hotel‘s storied tea tradition, to an evening dinner experience featuring both à la carte offerings and a chef curated kaiseki-style menu. Tucked discreetly within the space, Bar Yoshoku offers an intimate setting for rare Japanese whiskies and expertly crafted cocktails.

Great Japanese restaurant. Everything we had tasted great. There is also a bonus in very good cocktail menu which I would not consider as automatic in such a restaurant.
