I took my family here to eat when they came to visit me. My family loved it—they ordered and ate a lot that night! The fois gras rice was on point, and we ordered the three wagyu courses and their tomahawk (there were five of us that night but two very hungry men). My parents definitely loved the variety, and I was very pleased to have brought them there to eat and try it for the first time.
