Phenomenal. The 4 course tasting menu w wine pairings is great. Sea urchin soup and the wines are superb, especially the first white wine :
The service is outstanding. This is not your plain grilled seafood restaurant but rather a highly stylized seafood restaurants . It combines European and Asian influences in a lovely way.
1 Do engage Max, the sommelier . He has a wealth of wine knowledge to share. 2 Get the John Dory ! Oh, that is a filling, flavorful plate with perfect pan done fish , a creamy risotto and morels galore!
Tasting menu with 4 dishes was delicious, each dish was small as a bite but it was fulfilling as a whole menu. Service is great. A bit pricy but you get great food and service.
Get the chilled seafood platter , the hamachi shots (3 per order) and the apples and toffee dessert if they have it. Great tea selection and seasonal coffee (peppermint coffee ).
Extensive wine list (Kistler Pinot @ $130? YES!!!) ... Lobster rocks & Grilled octopus are winning Ppetizers, though small ... Worthy of the price sized entrees that make you smile.
Absolutely fantastic. Everything in this place is good. Excellent service . 10/10
The Wild Hawaiian mero with lobster , trumpet mushrooms , bell pepper miso , and bonito is to die for.
Food was delicious. Wine list was good. Was disappointed with desserts . Got churros and the strawberry .
The Seppia cuttlefish & risotto was an envy dish for my tablemates. The PB&J desert was delicious as well ! Oh yeah, Hamachi !
It is okay to go here and ask for the vegetarian risotto dish. It is delicious, and packed with mushrooms .
Dungeness Crab Salad right now in season is an obvious choice; very good. "Pandora " choc mousse + a nice tawny port is a great pairing
It’s expensive but it sure is good. The sea bass was outstanding. Also, oddly enough, they serve cotton candy .
Always get the uni/sea urchin when available!
Always let them know when you're celebrating something special. The chef & servers take extra effort to ensure a wonderful meal.
The trio... Woah. Best steak you will ever eat.
Perfect place for special occasions . Best lobsters I've ever had!
The food was wonderful, but I found the desserts rather unimpressive. We ordered the churros and the strawberry desserts .
Amazing. The tasting menu with the wine paring was excellent.
Very nice Prix Fix meals. Broad selection of fish and seafood .
If I could have the hamachi shots from this restaurant everyday, I would die a happy woman.
Hawaiian Mero is just awesome.
Ask for Lucas at the bar and get his sage sensation cocktail .
Hamachi shots and the duck were absolutely amazing! Service was eh though...
Avoid if you go with a baby. They told me it was fully booked (when there were clearly tables) and didn't let me sit at bar cause "minors are not allowed at the bar ", a 7 month old sleeping baby!
Try the lobster rocks, way better than himachi shots.
3-4 times already but this time we found it so so
Hamachi shots . Dungeness crab salad . Veal chop . Pandora .
Extraordinary service!
Fantastic food and service.
The shrimp tempura is perfect.
Love the hamachi shots !
Does seafood like Alexander's does steaks . Righteous.
Scallops so good
Check your corporate expense policy before ordering, it is easy to get carried away
Soooo Fancy ....
I love all the things! 5 for 6 before 7. Filet & lobster. BBQ shrimp. Creme brûlée. Ahi tuna. Sautéed spinach. 100 wines by the glass! - Samantha Marie
Their boards and toasts are amazing. Fresh greens, great service, and their sparkling lemonade were the perfect pairing for a fantastic outdoor Sunday brunch. - Anthony Yuen
Tonkatsu set tastes just like in Japan! Great pork texture and flavor, roasted sesame salad dressing a surprise plus! Also has warabimochi for dessert ???? - Andrew Wong
