Japanese tapas, sort of, but eclectic. Yes, everyone already has told you to go here, but now they take reservations. More importantly, you should get the carrot dish and the brioche, even though each sounds boring or maybe even a bit horrible. No dessert, in my view a plus, and overall it ended up being a bit cheaper than I was expecting. Recommended.
