A short walk from the West exit of Ebisu Station, this spacious, modern restaurant is down a lovely flight of winding stairs out of “Gone with the Wind”.
The colours, ambiance, Italian music, lighting is just perfect for a broiling summer afternoon. Although the restaurant is French, the ... atmosphere is Italian.
We begin with a variety of carbonated fruit waters which hit the spot. Delicious!
Next the double Blanton on the ROCK! Was so smooth and blended well with the music.
A salty perfectly herbed and oiled focaccia bread and salad with a half tart was the next course. I am not a carb eater but this bread is delicious (it must be the salt, the oil and the herbs.) The mushroom mini quiche is a perfect side to this salad and I even love the plate design.
The entire has arrived. Japanese black beef cheek in a deep red wine sauce. Tres magnifique!
I would say the customers are about 80% women. This beef is delicious but a hungry Japanese man could have six beef bowls at Yoshinaya for the same price. Which is likely why only about 20% of the clientele or less are men.
Time for coffee and the cutest little dessert .........

Service is slow and orders are often gets mistaken or left undelivered. If the service and food are improved, it can easily become a great bistro. Tl;dr: Has potential but underperformed for this...
Read moreA very romantic spot for your Partner to bring you to. The spiraling stairs going down has a very modern feel- made us think we were entering a chic night club. The interior had a very speakeasy feel. Even though we went during the day, we felt like it was a relaxing evening that we were enjoying. We both chose the beef cheeks pasta. It was my first time eating beef cheeks and wow was it delicious. The meat was so tender it was like a stew. Will...
