    This place was beautiful. Our server was lovely and came by as often as she could to update us on the wait for our food. We did the tasting menu, and our food took longer than it should've to come out. It was pricey but a fun experience. We spent $500 on this experience. It was our wedding night, and they gave us two glasses of cherry bomb champagne, which we weren't a fan of, but the gesture was kind. Overall it was pretty good. Whenever we return, we will focus on regular entrees instead, only because it was a 3-hour process due to the waiting for our courses.

    Food is good, no doubt…but it ain’t even close to what it used to be 10-15 years ago. Sad.

    I had the Omakase 9 course meal. Each dish was unique and staff explained in detail. Staff was beyond courteous and helpful. Constantly asked how I liked a dish so they could improve if needed. Ambiance and decor was top tier. I really enjoyed it. Dessert was pretty but I didn’t like the matcha. Server really wanted to bring something else but I was stuffed and satisfied.
