The intimate eatery has just 36 seats and serves a delectable eight-course tasting menu (talk about dinner date goals). Take your honeymoon to the next level by booking an in-suite Kaiseki experience, in which a master chef will come to your room and prepare a marvelous tasting menu using seasonal and rare ingredients.
