The place was pretty nice, and the service was good. However, the food was mediocre at best. The Japanese Curry had very little chicken in it, and the flavor was pretty average. There were next to no vegetarian options when it would have been pretty easy to add at least one tofu dish. Vegetable roll and miso soup were good but it's hard to get those wrong.

Cool place for light fare and clever cocktails. Great for dates. Especially first dates where you want to seem wealthy and worldly.

Staff is great. Food is very good, but the portions are small. Drinks are mostly good. We want to go back, at least to try the omakase
