This place is phenomenal. We did the Omakase set menu with the sake pairing for two and it was truly one of the best dining experiences and best prix fixe menus I have ever had. Six completely different and incredibly interesting courses, with very thoughtful and robust sake pairings. Really opened my eyes to the huge variety in sake! The last savory dish, tender pieces of duck over a chestnut rice, which the owner said was inspired by her childhood, was one of the most amazing things I've had at a restaurant. Highly recommend this place!!!

Delicious! The only thing is my husband wasn’t completely full, but he came home and ate some cashews and was fine. Everything was delicious and thoughtful. The sake tasting is only 40 and a great pairing.

I’m genuinely amazed that all 6 courses on the menu could use such expensive and high quality ingredients and still be 80 with included tip. They were all really interesting, well executed, and tasty. Also I think it was just one woman doing the whole thing which I only noticed at the end and it blew my mind. She’s a literal treasure.

Went here for their 6-course omakase with my boyfriend. We really enjoyed all of the courses as well as the drinks (he had a cocktail and I did the sake pairing). The foie gras in particular sent me to heaven, and the duck breast was the tastiest I've had. There was a lot of attention to detail that made the whole experience really delightful.

I took my fiance to enjoy the Omakase menu, since we very much enjoy good food and tasting menus especially (why try one dish when you can try seven!). I expected variety, but what I didn't anticipate was the sheer quality of the entire experience. I was so impressed with how they functioned despite the virus; exchanging emails with the hostess/chef, she seemed entirely concerned with us enjoying the experience over making money, and even with her cooking alone and just one waitress, the delicate concern and attentiveness from both of them as we dined outside was commendable and very special. I can't even begin to imagine how someone could have designed the menu we were served - the flavors were combined so unusually but so, so perfectly. My fiance is an experimental home chef, and he can't wait to try to recreate some of the dishes. He also tried the sake pairing, and described it as 'the only time I have understood why pairings work', since it complimented the food so well. To sum it up: incredible food in an adorably caring environment, well worth the trip.

We did the omakase before the Grand Opening of the new location. I think we were the only reservation for the night but a group of four decided to walk in. Unfortunately, only the owner was the only one working (probably because she only expected to serve two people.) Because of this, our food didn't start getting served until over an hour after we were seated. We were in no rush that night so it didn't matter. Very small restaurant but bigger than last Rabbit House. Can seat around 12. The owner was super nice and friendly. The lychee drink I got was not very good but I think they just got their liquor license so there is room for improvement. She didn't ask me when I made my reservation or at the beginning of the meal if I had any dietary restrictions so I couldn't eat two of the six dishes. I'm not even sure if she could have made substitutions. I really enjoyed the gnocchi, the snacks, and the rabbit. Wasn't a fan of the black sesame dessert. I would come back, especially because my cousin lives down the street.

interesting tap selection, limited snack options, bring your own food is a good idea. Nice simple environment and helpful staff.
