    The food was outstanding. Our party of 5 had a preferred round table. We ordered grilled octopus and popcorn crab appetizers (both outstanding), and 4 people ordered steak and 1 person fish. Everyone was delighted. Two of us ordered the trio of wagyu steaks with salts and enjoyed comparing US, Australia and Japan (although we wished the Japanese cut matched the other two countries). Service was pro and unobtrusive. It's not inexpensive, but it was outstanding.

    A group of 8 went for New Year’s Eve. The food was terrible. We’ve dined here 1-2 times per year for special occasions but won’t be going back.
