  • I went for their autumn plant-based tasting menu and it was delicious! I feel like they offered a great mix of menu items while highlight autumn produce and flavors. I added the beverage pairing and the dessert with the matcha sake was the best thing Ive had in a long time! The staff was kind and attentive.
