[the_ad id=”4264″]
The taste of the dishes, although good, is outdone by the presentation and doesn’t really compete. The servings are not big and you are looking at around ¥1000 a dish. The cocktail menu here is extensive and well presented. There is also a good wine selection and again, the wine servings are a little small. As mentioned, there are dinner and party plans that can be ordered if you don’t want to pay per dish. It’s best to reserve a table a few days prior so as to secure a spot. There is also an all you can drink option.
