A French-Japanese bistro in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles.

Reservations are always recommended, but we are often able to accommodate walk-ins as well.

While we love dogs, we can only accept trained service animals (not emotional support animals) both in our dining room as well as on our outdoor patio. We appreciate your understanding.

This is based on NYE price fixe menu and service. Overall ambience was nice & playlist was fun & lively. We experienced a 7 course dinner that was delicious. The service was below par. Our server made minimal contact with us. Our second course was skipped and we had to ask for it. Our service felt rushed and because it was rushed our dishes were stacked at our table. The establishment is cute and would go back to review the restaurants other food options.
