WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionshipOur concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

    Everyone seemed nice.They seemed to cluster people together.Which there was more separation.The bread comes oiled down, which creates a doughy consistency.The vegan cauliflower could have been hotter.

    I made a reservation completely last minute cancelling my daughters bday party at one location due to not a lot of people rsvping so D&B was perfect for a bunch of kids and parents. It was pretty busy I’m so glad I made our reservation. Xavier was our server and he went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken take of we had 19 people in our party I also communicated with him a couple will be coming in late and he had no problem with that we got everything ordered in a timely manner. Food came out at different times but that was not our servers fault whatsoever he even apologized if anything I could recommend is that all food be brought out at the same time but again it was a super busy night the kids wanted to play more than eat which was great overall. I would definitely love to come back and have Xavier be our server again he is the best and definitely would love to come back to D&B we don’t come here often now we will definitely make it a priority even our guests want to come back great job ☺️

    This wasn’t the worst diner I have ever visited, but it definitely was the most mediocre. Our waitress did a good job serving us, but there wasn’t much she could do about the disappointing food. I am pretty sure that my order of chicken noodle soup must have been a mixture of canned broth and frozen ingredients while my small salad’s enormous size couldn’t make up for the poor quality iceberg lettuce, seemingly packaged shredded cheese and tasteless tomatoes. The apple pie was dry and excessively spiced. The total tab for our lunch for two, including tip, was a bit more than $65.00. I would suggest finding a different restaurant to spend your money at.
