Experience an unforgettable evening as Chef Matt Kramer curates a one-of-a-kind 10-course tasting menu, served in two limited seatings at 5:30PM and 7:30PM — with only 10 seats available per seating.

This $150++ per person dining experience will showcase an inventive progression of small plates, refreshing salads, delicately composed nigiri, signature rolls, hot dishes, and a decadent dessert — all highlighting sustainably sourced local seafood and seasonal ingredients, prepared right before your eyes. Expect several exclusive off-menu creations crafted especially for the evening. Enhance your meal with an optional beverage pairing for $50, featuring a thoughtfully curated lineup of apéritif, wine, sake, and digestif to complement each course.
