There are two Rakus located in the parking lot. One for meals and other primarily for desserts. Both offer plates to eat. We stopped into this one offering desserts.
Small bar like area. With some seating. Large wine storage on the way in. Staff was friendly and mostly consistent with seating and host execution.
There is a minimum dining charge per patron. It's like 20 something. Staff provided that before getting us started.
We came in solely for dessert. Between the five of us we ordered the two course, a main dessert and some macaroon. I don't really recall the name on some dishes. We just didn't care much for the one with shaved grapefruit. It was a bit tart.
Another was the Berry sorbet mint Jello. The dish served as a palette cleanser. It's a different mix. Little sweet and little savory. Texture. Gets the tongue to think a bit before getting to the entrees.
Sunset was one of the entrees. It had a mix of fresh fruit, cream, chocolate. This was my favorite. A balance of
Otherwise everything was masterfully thought out. Presentation and arrangement of cakes, pastries, cream and fruit. Not your typical desserts.
The macaroons we took home. All sweet. Held well for four days. The crust delicate and crunchy. The filling was rightly stuffing Asian flavored. One tasted like matcha and another was like red bean. Five flavors. Aromatically appealing.
Overall good experience. Good flavors. Great place for talking points and taking a date.
