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.

    Not a good place if you want to eat sushi. More of a place to hang out and get a drink

    The dishes are generic compared to other michlene guide restaurants. The sushi dishes are off balanced with taste. There are some sushi that are so spicy you can't taste any other flavor not only at the same moment but it ruins the taste of everything else for the rest of the meal. The staff was good and understanding but the manue needs revising.

    Very appreciated the friendliness of the staff - hostess was very courteous in changing our table location, further from front door and the cold. Several vegan options available. Tasty food, nice presentation.

    They are very good at filling waters. I would finish my water and more would magically appear. 10/10 would go again for water experience.

    Way too noisy. Names of dishes were stupid… I suppose intended to be hip. Food was excellent though. Superb uni and nicely done sashimi selection.

    My daughter, her bestie and I went for a little birthday celebration 🎉. It was our first time at Cloak & Petal so we were really excited about being there. We loved the ambiance and the music. The crowd was a good vibe too but the service wasn't as enthusiastic as we had hoped it to be for a birthday celebration. I still tipped the 18% but It was just okay... kind of like the food. My daughter and I both had a Bushido roll and it wasn't the best flavor. The miso soup wasn't very flavorful either. We were kind of bummed. The mocktails that my daughter and her friend ordered were great and my Shirley temple was delish. The presentation of the drinks were pretty sweet. We also really enjoyed the matcha creme brulee. I ordered x3. The presentation of that dessert was also really sweet but when my daughter the Bday girl went to the restroom, one of the bussers took my daughters creme brulee away from the table and she wasn't even half way finished with it. That really bummed us out. We spent almost $200 so we had hoped to at least be able to finish our dessert. 🤷🏻‍♀️Overall 3 stars for food service and pricing. But 5 stars for the crowd vibes, music and ambiance. I'm not sure we will go back. But we enjoyed the atmosphere. Take care! 🫶🏼
