Very good, interesting food. Very pleasant experience.
Absolutely extraordinary - just say yes! Set menu with at least a dozen things to taste. There are no menu decisions to make at all, just let them know each person's dietary needs when you make the reservation.

The menu includes dishes that are both adventurous and innovative, with a focus on California-styled fusion flavors and ingredients. Standout items include the Hokkaido scallops crudo with Tsar Nicoulai 'Estate' caviar, celery soup with fresh crab, and the signature "egg hopper" dish. The set tasting menu is highly recommended, as it provides a complete culinary experience. Many diners praise the food as phenomenal, with inventive dishes like a spicy coconut cream soup cappuccino that leaves a lasting impression. The meal is generous, with multiple rounds of bites, appetizers, and dessert, leaving guests full and satisfied.
