The food was fantastic, we drank the green tea gimlet, the stargazer, sea flower, Winning element, Yaki Zakana, and for food, we ate: Pickles, Oysters on the half shell, Crudo, Japanese Rice Curry (it was exquisite), potato salad and butter cabbage. For dessert we had the truffle milk toast.

    I had been wanting to check this bar out for a few years. I had high expectations and my expectations were greatly exceeded. Amazing spot. Great cocktails. Attentive bartender. And what I did not expect was absolutely amazing food as well. Come for the cocktails. Or the food. Or both. Excellent spot for a fun evening.
