Gyasi B.Gyasi Barber: The ambient atmosphere is wonderful for a special occasion. Their wine list is very extensive and the wine bottle display in the back of the restaurant is a sight to see! It is a whole story tall!

Niki B.Niki Blaker: Our cocktails (grapefruit martini and Harry's Peaches) were phenomenal. Our wine suggestion was perfect and the lobster gnocchi and mushroom fettuccine were divine. Great place for a special occasion.

Rob A.Rob Atkinson: Inventive and delicious but pricey for small plates. Good for a casual special occasion

Noah W.Noah Weiss: Fun take on a Japanese Izakaya from the famous O Ya team, with a Tokyo hipster vibe and tasty cocktails with lots of tiki drinks. The warm 'rando' section was great: curry noodle + oyako rice bowl.

Lindsay D.Lindsay D'Andrea: I am torn. Really cool space, but the small plates rack up a cost I don't feel justifies the meal. Drinks are whimsical in name and ingredients but sometimes don't come together.

PaulPaul: F'ing amazeballs! Cicchetti (tapas like) dishes are to die for. Highly recommend baby octopus, polpette, mozarella in carrozza and baccala mantecato.

Gianna N.Gianna Nebbia: For a special occasion get the 17-course Omasake (180 per person) with the drink pairing (80$) and they choose your sushi/drinks for you. It's an experience! All of their sake is just delectable.

The Taste SheriffThe Taste Sheriff: Probably the best restaurant in town. Definitely try the foie gras chocolate balsamic maki roll and the shiitake mushroom roll. Be prepared to pay over $200 per person.
