Highly recommended Wren, we came for a pre-concert dinner and our waiter asked us first thing if we were going to a concert as to be cognizant of our time line. We ordered several shareable dishes that were excellent, the Brussel sprouts were amazing as was the Waygu fried rice, sushi, tempura mushrooms, chicken and short rib! We loved everything! Drinks were delicious as well as beautiful, and enjoyed it all while overlooking the night view! Be sure to ask for a window table! Looking forward to going back!
