Michelin-starred Asian fusion w/ innovative dishes & cozy vibes. Known for standout octopus & unique Chinese beignets.
Tuome, a Michelin-starred establishment, is celebrated for its innovative Asian-inspired cuisine crafted by classically trained Chef Thomas Chen. The intimate dining room offers a stylish ambiance with plush seating and a backlit bar. While the service is knowledgeable and unpretentious, some diners note it may not fit a traditional fine dining expectation. Standout dishes include the seared octopus and the unforgettable deep-fried Chinese "beignets" for dessert.
