Chefs tasting menu is incredible, and a tremendous value to boot at $75. If you opt for the Uni bowl supplement (recommended!) its a seven course meal (six, but I'm counting the fried wontons with Korean style tzatziki) that includes shrimp, foie gras, short rib, uni, and a mini glass of sake. For under $100. Rarely does every item on a chefs tasting hit the mark, but it did here.

A Friday evening Happy Hour run wasn't too bad. Definitely get the drinks, more than worth it, and they're burgers are excellently seasoned. Wings were a bit too salty, but change your sauce, if anything.
