    We had a lovely time during happy hour. The fries with furikake and tobiko were beautiful and delicious! I loved the wagu and the tofu salad. The coconut sorbet sundae and mochi dessert were both outstanding!

    Service was great. Food was good. Make sure you go after 6:00 pm (or sunset) as the setting sun is hot and annoying.

    What an amazing spot! Beautiful aesthetic and the service was top notch. Perfect for a date night. We had the Ribeye, potatoes, broccolini, Filet Mignon, and lobster tails and it was all cooked to perfection and very flavorful. Drinks were also very good and tasty. Def recommend checking out. The hotel its in also looks brand new/remodeled so an excellent visit all around.
