Restaurants near Apartment - 1st Avenue

Went there for the first time yesterday for a quick happy hour and became immediately smitten with everything from the entrance and art down the hallway and stairs, to the hors d'oeuvres, and 5 star customer service for us. Even with a staff change-over, the new bartender came in with such a light and positive attitude and he was just so kind. My friend and I were catching up for quite a while that evening, and although not much of a drinker- I never felt pressured to purchase more than I wanted to from staff and he simply kept my water cup filled. We were not rushed, and were able to just enjoy a very pleasant catch up in a beautiful and intentionally curated space. The evening food looked incredible, there was a private event happening and one wouldnt have even known it, and the dining area is swanky with an intentional ambiance created. 10/10 recommend. Im coming back with friends next week and much more regularly- now knowing about this spot. Please keep up the great work.

The hostess was the highlight of our evening- they were welcoming, accommodated us at an earlier time, acknowledged our celebration, and kindly stored our bags. They were such a pleasant welcome to the restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious as well. Didn’t love the close seating quarters but overall great experience.

Awesome spot with really well priced omakase options. We had a well versed sake sommelier who was happy to chat with us about the sakes we chose. We were also pleasantly surprised by the karaoke room at the end of the meal which we must have missed was included with the reservation. Fun times! Highly recommend for small groups.

Selections were excellent, Service very attentive and friendly in both Japanese and English. Sake choices and guidance were also very good. our second visit and since they change courses with the seasons we plan to visit at least 4 times per year. If you like Kaiseki and can afford the cost I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a cozy bistrot-type restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Service is courteous and the price/quality ratio excellent. I had their signature seafood Tom Yum Hotpot, which is truly delicious, with a glass of good Loire Sauvignon, and a cocktail which was as good looking as good tasting. I will definitely go back for more!
