About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!
Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship
Our concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.
Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.

Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

    The food was average. The specialty roll we ordered had tempura that was cold and chewy. It didn’t taste fresh at all. Music was really loud for a half full restaurant. The service mediocre. Really nothing special that would ever make me want go back.

    I really like the happy hour. But overall, the sushi rice was not well done. The fish quality was great though. I probably won’t go back though.

    This was a fun, young spot to celebrate a 20th bday! The space has fantastic graffiti, edgy lighting & a cool, high ceiling covered with flowers. The sushi was great - fresh & flavorful. The skirt steak app was insane & we had to order two sashimi apps because they were so delicious! Our server was attentive but not pushy. We would totally come back!

    My husband and I had an awesome time here. Food, service and drinks were excellent and the energy in the place was loud (in a good way) and lively. The art everywhere was really cool and music playing was enjoyable. We had a blast and will absolutely come back the next time we’re in the area.

    We had an absolutely fantastic time at Cloak + Petal! We got there a little early and they still happily sat us right away. Service was great, food was great, ambiance was great. Was loud(ish) but more of in a fun way, and never had trouble communicating. Would HIGHLY recommend!

    Good food. Great server. At times the music was a bit too loud making it hard to hear and talk.

    The food was absolutely exceptional. Coming to a 9pm reservation; I expected my experience to be atypical. The nightlife here is quite vivid and was a lovely accompaniment to what was nothing short of excellent sushi. The best sushi I’ve ever had, in fact. Would absolutely go again- preferably at an earlier dining time
