I originally came here for a birthday celebration with my boyfriend. The staff were so so lovely! And the meal was exquisite. Truly the freshest ingredients cooked with the utmost care. We couldn’t wait to come back … So I ordered a kaiseki bento box. The 3 tiers of food were delicious! A meal fit for 2 to be honest. Love this restaurant & their wonderful attention to the eating experience!
Food & drink were exquisite by Japaese standards, staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, decor was inviting, and the entire evening was delightful!
If you are looking for a traditional kaiseki meal, this is the place for you. The food was amazing. The menu seems to change by the season which means fresh ingredients. The presentation was impeccable. The staff was so attentive and very nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for traditional Japanese food beyond sushi.
7-course omakase for an intimate encounter with the 5 tastes: sweet persimmon jelly, fatty tuna with salty shoyu, a few drops of sour yuzu in the Fall mushrooms broth, tiny bitter pickles on the side, and a perfect sukiyaki for the umami finale. It's delicate, delicious, divine, and all the other superlatives your inebriated soul will sing after your first bite. The interesting list of sake and the impeccable service add to the experience.
My first time dining at Gozen. Outstanding food, very fresh fish, and great wine list. The price was reasonable for the quality of food. The staff was very personable and knowledgeable! Everything was just wonderful❣️
I tend to book restaurants that are up and coming and have great reviews. From Michelin starred to raving articles. That being said Gozen displayed great service. Staff was friendly with a nice traditional Japanese ambiance. Where it fell short was the actual dinner course. 235.00 (with tip) a person should be slightly more than satisfactory/impressive at the very least Every course wasnt surprising. It was really something id expect from a normal neighborhood Japanese restaurant on a weekday out. Average. Would i go again? Unfortunately not.

outstanding Japanese cuisine!!???????
Very traditional Japanese cuisine, straight out of Kyoto. It's classy and an experience that last up to three hours. Depending on your decided menu, you'll have 8, 9, or 10 courses (small dishes mostly showcasing true Japanese elegance in food). Fantastic place with very friendly staff which is to be expected and well worth the price. Would not recommend if people have no idea what they're getting into, but if you do then it's a big recommendation for a special occasion.
Before I get to the food, I just wanted to say thank you to the staff. They did an excellent job and made the experience a great one.The food was very unique and had some interesting takes on traditional Japanese cuisine. The plates are decently portioned and the quality was excellent. The menu online was not the correct option, so you might want to call ahead of time to gather the right menu.The ambiance at first was a little strange since the music was too ethereal. Later in the night, the playlist switched over to soft jazz, which fit the intimate environment much better.
