What a unique experience! I was apprehensive of the experience but quite impressed and very satisfied with my visits We were greeted at the door by Chef Masumoto and asked for IDs and COVID cards. He then asked for us to wash our hands before seating us. Gentleman were expected to pull out the chairs for the ladies. He gave us a few minutes with the menu and then took our orders. The restaurant is a cash only establishment and you pay before the meal is served so as to keep Chef’s attention on food timing. Our table ordered a bottle of Champagne and our meals. The food was phenomenal, service to clear plates and good timing following was impeccable and conversation with the Chef was inspiring. The Chef is passionate about his food and restaurant, has worked hard for his reputation for fine dining and has put in the time to have his restaurant the way he chooses. Respect the art and the craft and enjoy your four course meal the Chef Masumoto way!

undoubtedly unique. from a Japanese chef cooking French cuisine in America, yet the actual experience was neither American nor Japanese nor French. the food itself, i’ve had better, but when you think about the whole package, i believe this place is worth going to as a hidden gem.

I can’t say enough about this place! It is everything! Y’all know when you see the brand, what you are going to get!The Chef/Superman is legit! He’s not grumpy.Bring your manners and respect. Nothing else is tolerated. If you have an issue with that, this isn’t your spot.Many blessings chef ❤️

First time there last week. For the price its good. His prices are what dining out should more closely resemble. Dining out prices are too high now. Glad I was able to try his cooking before he retires.

It is amazing to see the owner all by himself wait the tables, prepare your food and serve it!

What a great time! I expected a very rude, uncomfortable experience based on the reviews, and it was not that at all. Chef was very kind and polite the entire time - directive, to be sure, but very sincere and never rude. The food was honestly worth two or three times what we paid. The photos do it no justice, they can't begin to capture how tasty everything was. Highly recommend before it's sold!!

Requiring a vaccine pass to dine is medically invasive and doesn’t prove anything if you can still transmit Covid after vaccination. If anything, it just makes the vaccinated afraid of the unvaccinated. Business decisions to mandate a vaccine pass to dine are absolutely worth a review for other diners sake.

THE BEST FOOD! Reasonable prices for a unique multi course French dining experience. Be SURE to read the instructions PRIOR to reserving.

Parking: Industrial Park Type Area, yet a hidden treasure.

Diamond in the rough! One-man show Chef Masumoto is sure to please. I am an unfortunate picky eater, but both times I’ve been here I cleaned my plate at all four courses (at an amazingly affordable price). I think about the soups often. Sad this place is closing soon, visit while you can! Chef Masumoto can be intimidating at first, but incredibly kind and good-spirited once you start asking questions about his craft.
