I have been in a few times since initial review but this was My first time back since the New Years menu changes. I can confidently say that original hits were not a fluke, new menu items are the similarly intriguing and delicious with Chef Howard's signature blend of innovation and bold flavors. Really hard pressed to pick my favorites but I can confidently say your crazy to not try the Beef Short-Rib, the layers of spice in conjunction with the unctuous nature of the traditionally braised meats is intoxicating. Wood-fired lasagna is rustic crunchy and delicious! Uni Melt is a great way to enjoy the delicacy. Tried multiple vegan and vegetarian items as two of our guests were of that inclination, the scallion noodles as well as the bbq salsify were very tasty, Japanese sweet potato is out of this world, like a soft yam custard layered with sour cream and scallions.
Team acknowledged the B-Day in my reservation notes with a sampling from the menu and candles, fortunately the chef is very pretty as his singing voice is terrible.
Service team is attentive and welcoming, super friendly.
Will be returning for sure.
