Wagyu Omakase Japanese
Descend into Chef Minoru Ogawa's sunken dining room, where a spare counter overlooks an exacting kitchen. The eight-course omakase weaves wagyu—lightly seared tataki in egg yolk sauce, toro balanced against garlic ponzu—with pristine seafood, finishing with a miso soup that lands like comfort. Refined without pretense.

Chef Danny Lledó's wood-fired kitchen channels Valencian cooking with dill-cured bonito and rice dishes built over the hearth, their smoke and char cutting through delicate preparations. The sparse third-floor dining room feels like a private conversation, ending with coffee and sweets upstairs.
