“The French and Japanese twists in each dish were very interesting. Flavors were different but delicious! Place is quite small so I definitely recommend setting up a reservation. The views and atmosphere were top notch. Glad to have this place in the neighborhood!”

“One of the best restaurants in Seattle, totally underrated. The foie gras dish is divine. The wine pours are heavy-handed. The price is steep. You get a nice view of Seattle from the other side.”

“What a gem in the Mount Baker neighborhood. We went in on a Friday night and had no issues getting seated. You can tell a lot of thought went into each dish. For instance, the seasonal veggies came with this miso and black garlic dressing which highlighted a lot of fall apple notes. The filet mignon was made to perfection. The brie mushroom risotto was rich in flavor. For dessert, we had yogurt mousse with Granny Smith apples, and it was a great light and tart treat to offset our main course. There were some wine and sake bottle options, but the by glass options were straightforward. For the level of care and technique that goes into the food, I like that the ambiance of the restaurant is more down to earth. Having a restaurant to this pedigree away from busier hot spots around Seattle is great if you want to dine somewhere more intimate. Highly recommend, perfect for date night!”

“The dining room is small and intimate. If you are next to the window or wall, it's quite nice. In the middle of the dining area is stale and in the front by the entry is subject to drafts. The food is very good, but short of amazing. I was hoping to be impressed by the fusion of Japanese and French cuisine, so maybe my expectations were too high. It's 85%/15% Japanese. As someone in my party said, something doesn't become Japanese just because you added wasabi. I might try it again sometime. Maybe it was an off night?”

“I went there for Christmas weekend dinner so they have the same menu for everyone who booked. The best is the first soup course which has a soft, bright, mixed taste. Nice appetizer. However starting from the octopus the taste became worse. I’m not an octopus fan but their octopus is alright. But the sliced waygu beef is too raw for me. The Mac cheese tastes weird too. I doubt the wasabi source is a good match with the beef. The last Swiss roll has a rough texture, not like the soft texture I have ever had. The service and atmosphere are good though.”
