Visited here with a reservation for the lunch course. Service was good in general; the head chef was serving the dishes while explaining the ingredients and Spanish flavors incorporated. The amount of food for the price was reasonable and I enjoyed most of the dishes, especially the fried nora fish paired with the chili pepper soup, marinated surf clam, and the roasted pigeon. The homemade chocolate at the end of the meal was also tasty. However, the bread could have been presented better as it seemed like it was pulled apart by hand. Also the foam on top of the crumbed longtooth grouper fish barely had any flavor; a bit disappointing as it sounded promising on the menu.

Amazing place.  Unlike overrated Sezane.  This place is impressive.

There were 3 exceptional dishes and one good.  For a Michelin 2 star this performance even put some 3 star to shame.

1.  The main dish Iberico shoulder.  The meat is tender and none of the pork strange flavor.  It was perfectly seasoned with not too sweet sauce.  It was already a great dish.  But that plum garnish acidity completely changed the dish.  Amazing flavor.

2.  The salad is such a wonderful surprise.  Everything is conflicting from the sauce, temperature (hot and cold), texture.  Never thought a dish full of conflicting ingredients would go so well.

The only miss tonight was the potato leek with shirako and truffle.  This dish lacked flavor and was over powered by the onion chip.

But still worth a visit and one of the better restaurants in Tokyo.

The overall culinary experience was commendable, but did not justify the price tag associated with a two-star Michelin establishment. The tapas were exquisite, and dishes such as the smoked caviar with French toast and the cod milt with truffle and potato and leek soup were standouts. The following courses - salad, fish with pil pil sauce and wagyu main course - were enjoyable but lacked the sophistication in both presentation and execution that one would expect from a two-star menu.

Desserts such as the orange and chestnut soufflé (which was good) and the friandise (which was excellent) provided a nice end to the meal. The wine pairing was well thought out; however, the wine glasses themselves were rather crude and seemed a little cheap, which was surprising for a place of this caliber where you would expect hand-blown glasses.

The waiter also seemed unfamiliar with sake and whisky, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the chef was exceptionally personable and I hesitate to give this review as it reflects my genuine perception of the experience.

It was a fun meal! Some really interesting dishes, very reasonable pricing, place was quiet and it was extremely pleasant. Great service as well - thanks for explaining to us in English!

My favourites were the ama ebi dish, the very surprising explosion of flavour from the beef + unagi dish and the fun chocolate end. My only thing was that the main lamb dish, although good, was just not as surprising / bright as the other dishes. But totally would recommend!!
