What was marketed as a refined nine-course tasting menu turned out to be little more than a sleight of hand, only loosely aligned with what was promised on the restaurant’s website. The progression felt unbalanced, skewing heavily toward fish, with meat making only fleeting, almost symbolic appearances.
The service, regrettably, leaned more toward opportunism than hospitality. At one point, the most expensive bottle of sake on the list was suggested without context, justification, or curiosity about our preferences — a transparent cash grab that left a sour note.
The so-called “semi-private” dining rooms offered little in the way of intimacy. Noise carried freely, eroding any sense of calm or exclusivity one might expect at this price point.
Which is a shame, truly — because when the meat did appear, it was excellent. Beautifully sourced, expertly cooked, and easily the highlight of the evening.
For those who still wish to visit, my advice is simple: treat yourself to a proper cut of beef and skip the multi-course menus entirely. There is genuine quality here, but it is buried beneath a tasting format that overpromises and underdelivers.
