Vintage Cave Club

I've been to thousands of restaurants in over forty countries including Michelin star rated restaurants but my experience at the Vintage Cave Club has been the most impressive of my life. Our server, Jason, greeted us at the restaurant entrance and took us to our table in the Ruby Room which I later learned was the same table that President Obama and the First Lady used twice during their visits to the club. Our visit lasted just over 4 hours which included an 11 course meal with a bottle of merlot from the owner Mr. Sekiguchi, presented by Randy, the bartender, just before the main courses. Each course was described in fine detail by our server during presentation and we were given personalized menus at the end of our meal to take home. The general manager, Mr. Hirano, checked on us several times throughout the meal and even cared for my jacket when I removed it about halfway through dinner. The last hour was spent finishing our bottle of wine while our server took us around the restaurant and explained the many pieces of art and different rooms in the restaurant including the Diamond Room, Amethyst Room, private wine lockers, retail wine store, private sushi bar, and private dining room. Vintage Cave Club is now open to the public with an optional membership. $5,000 membership functions as a full $5,000 credit to your account and offers many privileges such as 30% off all liquor and your own climate controlled wine locker that can store up to a dozen bottles. I can't wait to return to experience the 20+ course Sushi Kaiseki but it is limited to only 6 people per night and it's totally booked for the entire month of July 2018. I'll try to go in August 2018. Very strongly recommended!

Very good food, probably not worth the cost. For $300 per person I would expect flawless execution of the service and meal. The food was well prepared, we had the beef tasting menu. It was quite good. There were some money hiccups in service, nothing major, but surprising given the reputation. The atmosphere is great. And everyone was very friendly. The post-meal tour of the wine cellar was probably the highlight of the evening.

I don't think anything I write will do this amazing place justice what an experience! The staff was out of this world, you literally feel like royalty here from the moment you get buzzed in and are taken down into the restaurant in a private elevator. And the food unreal, make this place a priority on your bucket list before you die. Oh and the art amazing simply amazing collection. No detail overlooked from start to finish.

Great fancy bites of food. Ask for a menu to after to so you can remember what you ate. The captain your server will tell you all about the food when they bring it to you. Amazing service. Definitely a once in a lifetime time or twice in a lifetime time place to experience. The tour and history of the place was rich in culture, history and art. I thourghly enjoyed the tour and the lady with the tiny crosses on the nose pieces of her glasses. I don't want to spoil the fun by telling you ..her knowledge of the history will definitely have you in aww it's priceless. Definitely take the tour after you dine. I wish I took better pictures of Picasso's original art painted for his family. It was truly an impressive site or view to have from our table.

Definitely one of the best restaurants in The United States. Must visit! Exceptional service and interiors.

Private dining in the basement of the mall. Weird and wonderful. Amazing wine cellar.

I just started yelping myself but I've followed reviews for 4-5 years. And I take pictures of all my food so although I ate at this restaurant last year, it's great to see the reviews still high. I did the sushi bar for 360$ a person and went with 4 friends. There's on room for 6 people at the bar. Service was amazing (they stand behind you and wait for you to finish each dish) the sushi was spectacular-- I'll let my photos do the talking.

My experience was with the "Afternoon Tea." The staff seemed a bit frantic, specifically the hostess was incredibly anxious, despite the lack of customers and calm atmosphere. Making a reservation for the afternoon tea was an odd experience, as we were told to show up between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. We arrived at about 1:45 pm and were seated promptly. The tea offerings were slightly stale, I'm guessing everything is made during the week and then handed out on the weekends. There was nothing on the tray that tasted quite right. The tea was great and our actual server was calm, collected and friendly. The experience was not worth the price and seemed very disorganized. I would only recommend coming if you're interested in just tea and a fresh pastry, not the afternoon tea selection. The other offerings might be great too, but we didnt have anything from the lunch menu specifically.
