The food here is second to none. There were four of us, so we had a wide variety of small plates. All of it was grand. Some of it, like the foie gras, was a little rich for my taste, but quality nonetheless. We had two desserts (cheesecake and creme brulee), neither of which was anything to write home (or Yelp) about. Also, the wine pours are either done by someone with poor depth perception or possibly Japan has a different definition of a glass of wine, as they were stingy with the grape juice. With as popular as this place is (reservations are a must), I am not sure why they do not open a larger location, as the current one is cramped and not very inviting. The service was adequte, but not overly nice or accommodating. Focus on the small plates, and keep the rest in the periphery.
