Decor comes courtesy of Damien Hirst with mermaid sculptures, hanging fish installations and a thirteen foot jewel-encrusted crocodile setting the tone. Inspired by the 'seas of Asia' with a keen focus on Japan, the menu ranges from a la carte options to Omakase tasting menus with everything from sashimi to shellfish.
