    We visited the restaurant for the first time to celebrate a birthday and it was a memorable experience. They served us the soft Japanese milk bread to start with and the cocktails were top notch - prime rib and appetizers were delicious (only the Hokkaido scallops were a bit bland in my opinion). The restaurant was kindly treat us a free dessert for our special occasion. We ordered Menkems Cake and it tasted delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a place with great view and great food!

    Everyone who came to our table was so incredibly nice. The food is always delicious - we had to double down on the Champagne Roll, the grilled vegetables and - obviously - the Salmon Aburi ♥️♥️♥️ Adrienne (I think that was her name) our server was very attentive and nice, it was the perfect send-off dinner for my friends!

    Went out for dinner and tried a few dishes, overall solid experience. The food came out super fast and our server was so sweet, which made everything better. The Kanpachi Crudo was the standout for me. It was super fresh and well-balanced, and the sauce it was sitting in was honestly unreal. The orange, radish and olives gave it the perfect bite and crunch. Such a light, beautiful addition to the meal. The Lotus Chips came in second for me - crispy, lightly glazed, and lowkey addictive. They had that perfect sweet-spicy thing going on without being greasy. I could’ve easily eaten a whole bowl to myself. The Crying Tiger Steak was good, just not amazing. The flavor was there and it was cooked alright, but it didn’t wow me. The dipping sauce definitely made it amazing though. The Brussels Sprouts were probably my least favorite. Not bad, but a bit too saucy for my taste. Some of the pieces still had a good crisp, and the chickpeas were fun, but the sauce kind of overpowered everything.
