What does this mean? →Why it's listed
A waterfront restaurant on New Haven's City Point harbour, opened autumn 2025 in the former Pequonnock Yacht Club, serving a bold mix of Japanese, Caribbean and French cooking alongside a sushi counter. Its Japanese A5 program runs across three courses: an A5 Wagyu Beef nigiri, an A5 Wagyu Polpette of glazed Japanese A5 meatballs, and a Certified Japanese A5 4oz strip served on a sizzling plate. A 17-course chef's table omakase is also offered. The menu states the A5 grade throughout but does not name a prefecture, farm or brand for the beef.
Authenticity flags
- The menu advertises a 'Certified Japanese A5' strip but does not say which prefecture, farm or certifying body stands behind it, and the other two A5 dishes name a grade only. If you want to know exactly where the beef comes from, ask before ordering.
