    I loved everything about the place except for one disappointing detail. Despite mentioning it was my husband’s birthday ahead, we were not offered a nice table to mark the occasion. To make matters worse, as we were joyfully chatting over dinner, we were told we would need to vacate the table by a certain time. From such an upscale establishment, I expected much better attention to detail and hospitality.

    Our 2nd time to dine here. The service and food reflect on the consistent Michelin ratings ( 7 years ) Our specialist Martin was at the top of his game Truly helpful explaining the fine details of each serving Chef Yamamoto did not disappoint. Enjoyed the Wagyu and the Duck on top of the dumpling. The Sea Breem had an amazing ponzu gel Only complaint is the year 2020 vintage of Rindo should not be served since that’s a horrible year for wine because of the Napa fires. Still good but it clouded my judgement on the wine because of the suspect issues of the fires to the vines Never the less we had an epic dinner Arigato🙏🏼🇯🇵
