We've been meaning to to try so many of the new restaurants in the area. We finally got here for a late lunch today. Not surprisingly on a Thursday at 2PM and snowing, we had the place to ourselves. It was fortunate because the woman who took care of us explained everything to us in detail. I wasn't familiar with the Kurobuta pork. Apparently it's known as the, "Kobe beef of pork."

They hardly give you any food for what you pay. Food was OK not delicious. For $113 we got two small salads, Chicken fried rice and two scallops and a piece of cheesecake the size of a spoon. I didn’t know if I should just say something or just laugh to myself. Will not be returning.
First time going, and far from the last. Amazing Japanese tapas all cooked over White Charcoal imported from Japan. Lucky enough to sit at counter overlooking the grill and sat next to the owner, a gentleman who started in the restaurant biz in Tokyo. The two sampler of seafood and meats and homemade sauces were just outstanding. Service was top notch. BYOB is an added bonus.
