Its a 2 Michelin restaurant, fine dining experience. The service was top, the serves had high attention to detail and explained each dish, they kmew the menu and drinks well and could give you good explanation of it. They were well dressed. It's a small space restaurant bit spacious for each couple (this is more a couple dining experience than a group setting). Total of 10dishes ,they were intricate and detailed. Each dish came with its own utensils. As to flavor it was unique and interesting more acquired taste. Too many raw dishes for my liking. This restaurant goes more Japanese themed even their cocktail is mainly Japanese alcohol.
The best for us was the rice and duck dish. It would be a good try since its Michelin but maybe not for more times unless they have new menu. The dining experience would be round about $350 plus per person depending if you have add one and how many drinks you have.

This is hands down my favorite fine dining restaurant I have been to. Every dish was so beautifully crafted and left me wanting more. The wine pairing had a few sakes which was interesting. I'm not a wine expert but the wines/sake felt like they enhanced each dish quite a bit. I would recommend doing the pairing with this.

The best dish was the poached egg with bread. We bake a lot of bread at home and I'm mad that I have never made a loaf as good as what they had. Theirs was soft, light, and fluffy with a thin crunchy crust. Perfect. Dipping it in the poached egg dish is something I still think about a week after eating it.

I only have 4 stars for the atmosphere because the seating area is nothing special (compared to other restaurants at the same price point. It's still very very nice). It's a small area and while the kitchen is open, the tables don't have a good view of what's going on. Compared to a place like Birdsong where you sit around the open kitchen in a huge room with high ceilings.

Regardless, this is definitely a place I will visit again. They do seatings at the bar which is significantly cheaper than the full dinner but still has the same type of food. If you want amazing food that is more budget friendly, then that is a good option for folks. We are planning to try that next time.

Overall a quite (3.5-point) disappointing food experience (Feb 2025 menu). Service was good, no complaint. Servers were nice enough to help me pack my unfinished dishes. Had the full tasting menu and portion overall was big. First four courses are fine (three small bites, raw fish appetizer, caviar and daikan radish, and slow poached egg yolk with bread). But the main courses of the Feb 2025 menu was unsatisfactory. The steamed sole was accompanied with tasteless/no flavor beautifully green veggie sauce - which in my opinion could be cooked with shrimp sauce to add up the ocean/seafood flavor/feel to the sole fish. Scallop and its ham flavor sauce are good; but not sure what the foam-ish food on the left side was trying to convey. The liberty farm duck dish was the worst - the sausage was creative and acceptable; but the duck piece had skin with thick layer of fat not cooked well (tastes like eating fat directly) and there were a lot of meat fascia not removed (hard to chew; the worst medium /medium rare kind of meat I had); I dont know why the prune was there warmed either - as a plate cleanser, it is too warm; as a kind of saurce to add flavor to duck, it is hard to chew. The rice pot and sweets are fine (especially like the last three small bites). Except for jasmine ice cream, the chef could possibly consider remove the either the bitter grapefruit skin taste thing on the top or the sour pomelo meat on the side - because with all together, this desert had too many flavors (sweet, bitter and sour all together, tasting weirdly like biting the whole pomelo without peeling). If I have to go again, I would pick the short bar table menu - includes majority of the acceptable or tasty appetizers but not that many unpredictable main courses. Overall unlikely to go again because the performance of the menu was unstable to me. Sincerely (no offense) recommend the chef to take time to job shadow/learn Beijing/Cantonese roasted duck or French duck cooking skills.

Great, but was expecting even better. Everything was subtle, with good products, great balances. I really liked how the vegetarian menu was paired with the default menu. But not sure I'll remember this experience as much as other similar restaurants. Also, rather disappointed with the wine pairing, not impressed with any wine (just by the unusual origins), and surprised to get only one red wine. Service was efficient (maybe a bit too obsequious). The place rather quiet and providing good privacy.

We made a reservation (paid a deposit) for the dining room. We were sat in the bar area… Loud!! Not what we were hoping for given we wanted a romantic birthday celebration.

Some really beautiful dishes!
