This is such a unique spot on Tennyson Street in Denver. It's on the 3rd floor and the vibe is sparce, but nice. The food is, of course, the main event. We had the Pre-Fixe and it was delightful, the staff was friendly and approachable, and the food was as fusion as you can get - which is lovely. from Wagyu beef to shaken chef rice which is lit. shaken table-side made the meal enjoyable. This was out of my typical comfort zone for food -- but the preparation was so good, and the tastes were lovely. I'll def. be back!

Very large portions na the food was good. I had the chicken and waffles but be careful there’s an up charge for things my server did not tell me about like she asked if I wanted regular or spicy chicken and I got the spicy. If I would have known that maybe I wouldn’t have gotten spicy chicken.
