The food was ok as was the service. For the price point the experience and food did not meet our expectations. Some dishes were good but none were exceptional and some were subpar. Overall would not recommend the 10 course menu

Japanese food is our favorite, so my husband and I were looking forward to eating at this restaurant. We both ordered the 10-course seasonal dinner and were both disappointed... We both enjoyed the Avacado Toast, Touoshu Fish, Donabe Rice and Amazake Ice Cream. But we found the Grouper to be dry and overcooked. The 40-hour Crispy Pork Belly did not melt our mouths as expected, and the Wagyu beef was chewy. And I'm not sure why the Golden Ostera Caviar slathered in a tasteless gelatin and served on top of split peas? Other reviews stated the caviar was served with Tofu which would have been better. But the mixed drinks were very good, and the service was excellent. Our dinner and drinks came to over $600, so I'm sorry that our meals weren't exceptional.

We had the a la carte experience and the Smoke Door and it was delicious! Each course was elegantly crafted and beautiful as well as delicious! The ingredients were fresh and bright. The cocktail menu was creative and the wine list was solid. Definitely worth a visit.
