From the moment we walked in, we could tell this was going to be a wonderful dining experience. Beginning with a dozen freshly shucked oysters complemented with a wonderful'pepper' sauce served cleverly in a dropper. & a shaved ice Bloody Mary compote. Our second course was a halibut crudo with pickled ginger & curry. Complimenting our first two courses were wonderful cocktails. For the entrees, we shared the Black Cod which was the fish of the day & the homemade pasta of the day. We topped the evening off with the white chocolate crème broule & an espresso martini. The service was wonderful. Our server was friendly & attentive. Michelin star? No argument here.

The space is beautiful, the servers are friendly & attentive, & the cocktails were wonderfully balanced (almost dangerously good!). The homemade bread & butter were delicious, & I'm glad we ordered them since none of the dishes we chose came with carbs. For example, we ordered the beef tartare & beef tongue, both of which we thought would have been even better with a carb accompaniment.

For our main, we had been looking forward to trying the fish of the day, but unfortunately it wasn't available when we visited. Since the restaurant is on the Michelin Guide, we came in with high expectations, so that was a little disappointing. The only other protein option was pork belly, which we weren't in the mood for. Overall, the meal had excellent qualities & we enjoyed the experience!

Bouffe, cocktails & service impeccables. Seul bémol: la climatisation de l'endroit. Nous y étions lors d'une soirée chaude & humide, & ce commentaire se veut constructif :-)

Excellent food with lots of taste. To my taste the Kato cocktail would benefit of 1 drop less of cucumber. Will certainly go back.

I stumbled upon this restaurant on a blog & made a reservation immediately. They're not open for very long. They have Small plates that are very specialized. The cocktail I had, the Tokyo, was incredibly balanced & tasty. The food took a while to arrive but it was very good. We had the bread with butter, the foie gras (not my favorite but my parents liked it), & for main dishes we had the fish of the day, the pasta, & the lion's mane mushroom. Each dish had an incredible amount of flavor. I enjoyed that the most
