THE LEAD VERDICT
“Open until 9:30 or 10 PM depending on the night, which gives you a proper evening dining window. The raw bar items were impeccably fresh and the steaks were cooked with precision.”
“It felt a bit pricey for teh overall experience, especially when the atmosphere was loud and chaotic no joke”
ALSO FILED
“The staff were friendly, warm, and attentive throughout our visit. The vegetable-forward sides and fresh sashimi were excellent, showing care in sourcing”
“The menu is heavily focused on raw fish and steaks, which limits plant-based options considerably”
“The espresso after dinner was rich and properly extracted, a small detail that elevated the whole experience. The sushi and seared dishes showed incredible precision”
“legit the atmosphere was quite noisy on our visit, making conversation difficult.”
“teh sashimi had that clean, silky texture that tells you the fish is impeccably fresh and also the seared items had a satisfying crust giving way to butter-soft interiors. Every texture was intentional.”
“teh noise level detracted from the otherwise refined food. Hard to appreciate DELICATE flavors in a loud room not gonna lie”
