Each dish was a lovely surprise- so thoughtfully prepared, balanced, with wonderful textures and plated beautifully. Several of them were real treats that we do not regularly get- Santa Barbara sea urchin, Taiwanese sausage, Monterey abalone. The twelve course meal was more than ample and included 4 desserts! (I think an extra was due to the fact that we were celebrating a birthday.) A packaged olive oil cake was sent home with each patron. A nice way to extend the lovely meal to the following morning. You would not find this restaurant unless you were deliberately looking it. The venue is very small and charming. Everyone greeted us upon entering; likewise, everyone came to say goodbye and thank you when we left... akin to a VERY upscale mom and pop restaurant.

Excellent experience and food. What a lovely intimate location with outstanding creative fresh food served with perfect execution and flavors. This is a long and somehow non-exhausting tasting menu, and I looked forward to every dish. Even the desserts were spectacular. Top it of with amazing sake options that pair with the food.

This has to be one of the best restaurants to come around in 10 years. Not a bad dish was served. Some truly creative dishes that were always focused on flavor.

Stunning dinner filled with so many creative and delicious bites. I could eat it all over again (and again and again). Highlights of the immediate moment (without just highlighting the whole darn thing)-- the Taiwanese style sausage with the softest bun, the crispy salt and pepper pumpkin, the tofu and uni, the shiso ice cream!!! Cannot wait to come back.
