3rd visit and again, the Chef surprised us with great new dishes. An exceptional omakase experience and it has become our #2 favorite. It is still a little unknown gem on the UES, but it is better than many of the known names in th area: yes, we have frequented them all. In the meantime, BYOB, book a seat at the bar, enjoy the company of the other guests, and let the chef take you on a delicious tasting journey.
