★★★☆☆ 3.0 Vidhya Bhat · Dec 2025

A cute little spot that’s perfect for celebrating a special occasion. The appetizers were a standout - the focaccia was incredibly soft and fresh, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly charred and crispy, and the burrata with beets was delicious. While the mains were less memorable, we did enjoy the truffle risotto, but the other pasta dishes were a bit bland. Dessert was truly the highlight of the meal. The pistachio cake was fantastic, and the chocolate soufflé cake with vanilla ice cream and toasted sesame was great as well. Overall, we had an enjoyable dining experience

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeanette Mathews · Feb 2026

Warm and lovely food and service with a few memorable standouts and a few forgettable items. We did the 8-course tasting menu and add on A5 dumplings. One party member added the wine pairing. The earlier dishes were all knockouts. We loved the fried rockfish and oyster. The slaw was really vibrant and contrasted the crisp fry nicely. The halibut crudo was a table wide favorite, so bright and yummy! The uni creme brulee was unique, tasty, and generous. The scallop and rice dish was fantastic especially the rich broth (mushroom dashi) which my husband and I both said we could just drink a bucket of. The last two dishes were both a bit okay. The porchini ravioli was good but felt a bit one note. The venison plate was the biggest off note for the table. The venison itself just lacke

★★★★★ 5.0 Wesley Yu · Nov 2025

Highly recommended. A very non pretentious upscale dining restaurant. The quality was upscale (as are the prices) but it seemed very fun and casual otherwise. Approachable I would say. I posted photos but didn't catch the menu so not quite sure what the dishes were called. The squash soup, uni creme brulee, the beef and the panna cotta were all very good.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Subin H · Mar 2026

I had high expectations since it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, but there wasn't anything particularly special about it. The tables are so close together that you can hear every word of the neighboring conversation. The space felt cramped overall, and most importantly, I left feeling far from full.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michelle T · Nov 2025

We went here for restaurant week and while I wasn’t expecting much, I was underwhelmed by some of the dishes like the salad and the focaccia (with butter). I got the Wagyu Steak which was cooked well, and my favorite was the Chocolate Pot D’Creme. No qualms with the service, in fact the staff were friendly, and pace was ok. Overall it was just ok. Perhaps their regular menu would be much better.
