    Saw the beautiful garden walking by, so stopped in for a light lunch on the patio. Had the "Romaine salad with bacon" set. Surprisingly, it was deconstructed and incredibly tasty. Great presentation and service for a reasonable price. Will come back to try dinner.

    Both the sushi and the Italian parts of the restaurant are really good and have some delicious options. The vegan "beef" stew is sly incredible, super delicious. The desserts are fire, too. Especially the matcha roll cake and three layers frozen almond cake. Just wow! The interior is very chicky. Good for a fancy date or a lunch with the girlfriends.

    The service was truly bad, getting multiple orders wrong even after repeating it twice, champagne instead of sparking water (which we were charged for), food coming out all at different times. There are a few good items on their course menu but they are almost always out and no one will tell you ahead of time. Disappointing.

    Lunch visited with colleagues / ¥5,000 ~ We ordered the three course meal including appetizer, mail and dessert! Everything tasted good and salmon was soft and creamy! You could choose the dessert from lots of variety of sweets. The restaurant has also posh vibes.

    THE best vegan meal I’ve ever had in my life. Not just Vegan, but in my top 3 meals because of the presentation, staff/chef, and of course the taste of the food. Highly recommend the course. And the vegan wine beef was the best. I can’t wait to go back! (We went back in February)

    Went as a group of 4 +1 baby (1Y old), booked in advance and warned we had the youngling : staff was very accomodating and we got a private area with baby chair prepared. We good enjoy a nice time without any pressure to leave (not so often in Japan), and had good quality food for a reasonable price, however portions were a bit small.

    Well, excuse my quirky way of eating. The photo was taken midway. You probably already guessed- food is gorge, chef kissed. Most servers can speak English, which we appreciate. Their social and table etiquette was solid and boujie~ anyways. These photos are not so recent but since this restaurant was recommended to me again, I thought, why not make a review for them. They deserved it 🤍 me and friend enjoyed it- thanks for the great service and food :)

    Hm…OK, first, the atmosphere of the place is really nice, especially an area outside. Food is good, but nothing special really. For that price point in Tokyo you can get many alternative options which will be more interesting. Please note that i only tried Dining (for sushi you need to go to basement floor sushi area).

    This was a great place for a mix of food preferences. They had vegetarian and vegan items as well as options for meat eaters in our group. It felt like an upscale meal for a reasonable price. The staff was excellent and rolled out impressive food carts with appetizer and dessert options.

    We ate in the ground floor restaurant. The service was good. I enjoyed the variety of menu options (the 3/4/5 course option is very flexible) and everyone was quite satisfied with all the food we received. In particular, however, I like atmosphere and plating of the dishes. It gave the restaurant a very fashionable vibe without being too expensive. A great mid-range priced restaurant.

    We've been a handful of times over the last three or four years. Unfortunately, they no longer serve vegan/vegetarian options. (The drinks are still excellent!) The last time I went the staff did not mention chicken stock in veg-sounding dishes like the mushroom ravioli, so I am grateful that this most recent time I was better informed. I'm disappointed that it also means that while the food is well prepared, it is no longer for me. Please refer to other reviews for insight into meat or fish dishes. It's a quality restaurant, but I am not the target demographic.

  • 5/5 Vincent R. 3 months ago on Google • 39 reviews New
    Great restaurant, been here multiple times since 2020. Big thing to be aware of currently (2023) is they have changed the menu since some earlier articles/reviews and no longer have a decent vegetarian accommodation in their menu. Highly recommend for non-vegetarians and it is a great restaurant. Just be aware if you are returning with a mixed group or making a reservation based off an old article/review.

  • 3/5 Jay L. 2 years ago on Google • 38 reviews
    the dinner was so intensely and painfully sub-par. for the price? Unforgivable. the champagne was also flat…. Great atmosphere and decor though. super plush couches and low lit atmospheric lighting - So it depends what you’re looking for. can’t speak for the sushi as we didnt give it a try.

  • 5/5 Hinako Saldi S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place reminded me of some fancy restaurants in BackBay Boston area and made me feel more at home. Really beautiful interior, spacious, quiet ambience, elegant plates, delicious food and personable service. I’d totally visit again

  • 3/5 Sayaka I. 2 years ago on Google
    They no longer have a vegan course and there is barely anything vegan. The decor is pretty but the food has a small portion and tastes just okay. Our appetizers and main menu got mixed up and came in a weird order..

  • 5/5 Balazs L. 4 years ago on Google
    I am a bit biased because I know the sushi chef Sato san well, but this was surely the best dinner I have ever had since moving to Japan. We sat at the sushi counter and each bite was just absolutely perfect, felt like I was in heaven. Perfectly delicious, impeccably presented, and couldn’t be happier.

  • 2/5 tingyu z. 1 year ago on Google
    The environment was good, but the food was terrible and the service was poor. I don't like this pasta. It's completely different from other people's pictures.

  • 5/5 S. Y. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing sushi bar, with great drink selections (pretty rare to find this great of a ochako (cup) and sake). Also cocktails are well made upstairs in the restaurant. Requires reservation!

  • 5/5 0d0f 4 years ago on Google
    THIS PLACE! We found it by accident while looking for more fine dining that offer full VEGAN MENUS. say that again - FULL VEGAN TASTING MENU!! They food and service was outstanding, the decor is beautiful - I'm so happy we found this place. We will absolutely come back next time in Tokyo!

👍 There were about 20 people in front of us and we waited 40-50 minutes before we’re ushered inside the restaurant. I was glad I had not chosen an outside table because the air conditioning was working well. The meat was tender and melted easily without much chewing. I felt the cream and wasabi sauce...

😐 I have read a lot of good reviews for that however this is rather small place which seems a bit odd to me. When we entered it was full of strange looking people who seems to enjoy getting drunk and looking in to (to)young Japanese girls. I know it is part of Japanese modern culture but it does seems...
