Vibe: Magnetic ambiance, cramped silence

This bijou gem of a restaurant serves up an ambiance as delicious as its fare - modern decor marries chic, and intimacy cozies up with comfort. Of course, it helps when your taste buds are wooed by a dexterous selection of sake. But, amid such vibrance, comes noise that could test your patience.

  • Great Buzz

    Frequently described as trendy, hip, and with a lively, modern atmosphere.

Perks: Quietly exclusive with few frills

The restaurant is generous with its parking even if it isn't with its portions. But that's where the pleasantries stop. Expect to cross swords with mean-spirited reservations, endure glacially slow service and a kids menu that will leave your tots wanting. Stay light on your feet, folks.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample, free parking consistently located in convenient, accessible lots.

  • Okay For Groups

    Overall decent for groups, but can be crowded and service may vary.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Fully booked, turned away even when restaurant seemed empty, tone unfriendly.
