About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!
Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionship
Our 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.

    The salmon sashimi special was amazing, like butter! It was super loud and vibey, so not a good place for quiet chat with significant other but the jams were so good that we loved the loud music and vibe overall! Sushi I thought was really good but not melt in my mouth. Super fun and hadn't been there in a long time, great spot!

    Nice place with lots of potential. The food options are OK. The sushi and rolls are very Americanized.

    As first time patrons, we enjoyed our appetizers (Chicken Gyoza and Spicy Noodles). They were both tasty albeit on the spicy side. Beer selection was quite good too with several local favorites included. Sicario Roll, a specialty roll, was delicious too and resembled a traditional Rainbow Roll with a twist. Service was surprising attentive unlike what we read in the reviews! The biggest negative was the blasting dance music that made having conversations almost impossible without shouting!!

    Terrible. The service was good. But just a bad decision in choosing this place to eat.
