My family came to visit me from New Jersey and they loved it. We got there around 6 ish. It’s fairly on the quiet side but that changes shortly. The food,service and entertainment were great. They talked about it all the way to their hotel. I love this place!

The highlights were the cocktails, and I loved that they had an NA cocktail option for our group. The outdoor patio is right on Hollywood boulevard, but you feel like you are in a private oasis tucked away and surrounded by plants! Would definitely dine again and cannot wait to try their new THERE THERE concept, opening soon.

This was one of the best Japanese restaurants I have been to in terms of food. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the ambience was quiet and tasteful. I only issue was that the prices were a bit steep, but still worth a trip.
