    Was very pleasantly surprised at how good the food and service was. Went to PE for a business lunch and the waiter was very attentive and patient. His recommendations were spot on. We were a party of 4: 2 ordered the wagyu hamburger, 1 ordered the crab fettucine and 1 ordered their beef tartare, All raved about how good their lunch was. We had a full view of the course with plenty of sunlight, just overall a really nice lunch. Will be back again for sure.

    Meat selection was great! We had the tier 2 AYCE package. Everything was good. The garlic rice was bomb and it’s already good for 3-4 people so it can be shared. My personal favorites are the Harami skirt steak, premium sirloin and umakara ribeye. Service was also great. Our server was very attentive. I highly recommend making a reservation.

    I visited during restaurant week, everything was great. There were two mixups with our order, but they were quickly fixed. I believe this is just due to the high demand they had going on during this time. I would eat here again.
