3.5 stars. I think this place is overhyped coming from eating at places like it in LA. We did make reservations far in advance. They're very attentive. I was surprised that they called me back even when I didn't leave a message. Table service was also quick and attentive, but also hurried at the same time. Prices are a bit more compared to places similar to it in LA.
Enjoyed:
Duck w Balsamic Soy Sauce
Pork cheek
Foie gras w soy glaze
Enoki w bacon
Green tea creme brulee (though my favorite is still lavender creme brulee)
Just ok:
Salmon w Ikura Oroshi (it was cooked well, but just not that unique in taste)
Asajime Chicken Thigh (it was tender and one of the more affordable skewers you can get)
Raku's Tofu- the toppings offered for it were nice, but I prefer tofu served in other forms i.e lightly fried
