| - Went here for a friends anniversary, place is set back from the road so easy to miss. Atmosphere and décor was excellent and very modern. Crowd was older and very dressy, I was there in a pair of dress jeans, button down shirt, felt under-dressed, which is my own fault. We ordered a round of apps for the table, bone marrow, scallops, oysters, and a shaved beef item which tasted like Carpaccio. All were excellent and set a good tone for the main course. For the main, wife ordered a choice of fish - the Sea Bream as they were out of the Branzino, which was surprising as it was not very late at night. She liked it, although believe one has to be very average to get the fish cooked improperly, and this was a high-end restaurant, so no additional points there. I ordered the 6oz U.S. Wagyu, which was tender and juicy (first time having a Wagyu steak for me as I previously had it in burger form). My friend tried the Japanese Wagyu and was disappointed, I tried it and found it to be tender but very fatty. Big difference between the U.S. and Japanese cuts of meat. Overall was close to giving this a 3 star because of the sold out menu item, the disappointing Japanese Wagyu and the below average value for this type of restaurant (very pricey) However, the service, décor and satisfaction with my own meal made me cross the line into the 4 star realm.
