Excellent place to eat, the dishes are delicious and there are a lot of variety. The food is well made and there is a variety of wines. The atmosphere and decoration are nice; it is very enjoyable to be here. The prices are acceptable and I recognize the outstanding work of the staff, they were very friendly, I will definitely go back to this place, I recommend it.

Fantastic addition to the dining scene in SM. Delicious well thought out meals with some clever and unique combinations. The menu undersells the great Japanese fusion fare with some American and Italian thrown in when they should definitely stick to their star Japanese. The oyster deviled eggs were yum, their truffles pumpkin was gorgeous and the miso marinated cod was sublime. They will recommended the freshly baked loaf and you should accept as it is equally delicious. Nice fit out with chique ambiance that turns into a dance floor after hours. It’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised ????

Came here for the last day of the Dine LA menu. Ambiance was great, service was well-enough. I did the land duet first course with the steak main, while my fiancee did the sea duet first course and seafood main. The restaurant was great, my fiancee's courses were great, but the steak was rough. I can't tell if this is how their other steaks are, but the whole thing was over-salted with a mound of super-rich butter on top that killed all taste. I am still giving 4 stars as everything else seemed to be great, but that steak though...meh.

Loved this restaurant. So delicious. Our waiter Rico was so awesome. So friendly and fun. And the food came so quick. The sea bass was incredible. Highly recommended.
