    As a self-proclaimed food snob and passionate home cook, it’s rare that a dining experience truly impresses me. That said, our visit to YUNiCO was nothing short of exceptional—easily the best meal we’ve had in years. The menu, a masterful fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisine, was both inventive and flawlessly executed, showcasing fresh ingredients and bold creativity. What truly elevated the evening, however, was the impeccable service led by Sho Ki San. His attention to detail and thoughtful explanations added a depth and warmth to the experience that made it unforgettable.

    Wonderful dinner and intimate restaurant. The steak frites was unreal and the entire menu was delicious. They have a very robust French white wine selection but the red wine selection left something to be desired. We were very surprised they didn't have a good selection of Bordeaux or other French reds. Otherwise the meal was wonderful.
