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.

    2 things that made experience not great. When I placed reservation, I had to put a $25 reservation fee per guest that would be applied to final bill. We had 4 guests. However, we paid the bill in its entirety and the credit was not applied. Essentially, we covered the bill plus an additional $100. Second, I listed the occasion for birthday and never got recognized or acknowledged. Otherwise, food and ambience was good.

    The service was worse than a fast food restaurant from the hostess to the waitstaff, very unfriendly and nonchalant. We visited to celebrate an 18th birthday and included that in our reservation, but nothing was mentioned. What was supposed to be a fun dinner, was very disappointing. Overall, I do not recommend this restaurant.
