WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionshipOur concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

Always a good time at AKA, the ambiance is quiet when you arrive but at 8pm the DJ starts to play, slowly the music gets loud and by 10pm it is like a night club atmosphere. Dancing girls near the DJ keep you pumped up during the end of dinner and you get up and dance by 11pm. The experience is Fun, happy and elegant. You would dress to impress at AKA. It seems the fun starts late but goes on all night. Also on a side note, the Filet Mignon potstickers are the best. I had the Chilean sea bass and my wife had the Black Cod and both dishes did not disappoint. This place is 10 out of 10. I had so much fun. Giancarlo is the host GM, he makes sure everything is running at peak performance. I love this place and highly recommend it. Mikey V

They were super accommodating when we had to reschedule our reservation last-minute due to a medical emergency, and they let us move it to a later night! The show was incredible and hilarious, and it was without a doubt a night to remember. The food was also delicious and exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend it to anyone in the area!
