WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!
Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship
Our 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.

    I had a very disappointing experience at Cloak + Pedal After being seated in an area that was uncomfortable and clearly not ideal, I politely requested to be moved to a better spot. However, what should have been a simple request turned into an unnecessary argument with the manager. Rather than accommodating the request with understanding and professionalism, the manager seemed more interested in defending the poor seating choice than ensuring a pleasant experience for a paying customer. Their tone came off as dismissive, and the interaction felt unnecessarily combative. In the end, we were begrudgingly moved to a better seat, but the entire ordeal left a sour taste in our mouths. A dining or service experience should never feel like a negotiation for basic comfort. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and focuses on improving their approach to customer service. Until then, I would hesitate to return or recommend this place to others.

    Looked like a fun place for the people there doing drinks with friends, but food is sub-par. The menu descriptions did not accurately depict the food. As an example: Waygu “wrapped” roll had a very small piece of Waygu draped over the roll. They have a fun concept as a bar but need to work the menu.
