The "outstanding tasting menu" and exceptional service, particularly from staff like Sophie, are highlights. While some find it pricey, the exquisite "lobster miso" and artistic presentation make it a memorable dining experience.

Our second visit in the year to try "new" tasting menu at $125pp, which is a downscaled version of bigger $175pp they carried last year. It was fantastic! Same flow, smaller portions, yet still in abundance. They were very accommodating to our crustaceans allergy; the overall service was sublime, led by Sofia. Special note on the drinks menu - Paul let us try a few very creative drinks, he rocks! Thank you Jabistro team, we will be back.
