First and foremost the thing that I found the best thing from this restaurant was the young lady’s work ethic, personality and enthusiasm. She was by far the best assistant chef I have ever seen. She was constantly pivoting between working on the food, helping the main chef ensure he had everything he needed and engaging with the customers as much as possible when the sweetest smile. It was my wife’s birthday and having such a sweet person who would constantly make sure we were taken care of meant a lot, even if they may have not known it was my wife’s birthday as I never ended up telling them. I wish i could have told the young lady how amazing she was but she was constantly working hard even when people were starting to leave so I didn’t want to interrupt her flow.
I hope to see her grow to even higher heights.
The second most important thing, was the food!!!! Everything was so delicious and balanced. It was light on the stomach but the flavors entranced your mouth splendidly. By far the best french restaurant I have been to in my life despite going to three star Michelin restaurants in San Diego, CA USA.
Service was impeccable and I have to give the most thanks to the young chef and waiter who working at 1000% the whole time despite being completely full. If they have 1-2 more people assisting customers, I would say they would be the perfect restaurant.
You get to see all the hard work first had, as they cook and service everything right in front of you. You get to see the challenges and beauty of having to work as a team to serve all customers in a timely manner with a lean group. This helped me appreciate the food that much more when I finally got to eat it as you could see everyone working their hardest while trying to ensure the fold comes out as perfect as possible.
Wine selection was also amazing and paired very well with the food.
My only thing I would’ve preferred if the passion fruit desert was less acidic as it threw off the flow of light and flavorful course.
I am lucky to know some Japanese and my wife is also Japanese, so were we able to understand everything. It may be challenging for other foreigners who don’t have a good understanding of the Japanese language but I would strongly recommend trying the restaurant!
