What to expect
Expect a menu built for sharing, with raw and grilled dishes that blend Japanese techniques with South American flavours. The bar focuses on polished cocktails and sake, and the room gets lively as the night progresses. Service is professional and pacey, suited to social meals rather than long, quiet dinners.
Plan your visit
Book a table in advance, especially for evenings and weekends. If you want a cocktail-focused visit, ask for bar seating. Mention dietary needs when you reserve. Arrive early if you prefer a quieter table, and allow time for sharing plates rather than rushing through courses.
