Description

The midday scene here draws a busy business lunch crowd, contributing to a pricier, louder atmosphere that visitors note still feels cozy. The kitchen's raw seafood selection is a focal point, highlighted by melting toro and scallops, salmon carpaccio, and hamachi. Plant-based diners have access to a distinct menu that includes a garden cut roll, a grilled tofu and vegetable entree, and an avocado hand roll served in an unusual format.
