Hillsborough’s eye-catching Flintstone House is getting the luxury dining treatment.

Stone Age Omakase, a sushi pop-up, will open there on July 12, the Chronicle reported, with a private dining room hosting 12 guests at $230 per person.

On the menu: a 15-course tasting menu catered by chef Masa Sasaki, who earned a Michelin star during his time at San Francisco sushi restaurant Maruya. According to social media videos, the experience begins with a tour of the house, a recreation of the ’60s cartoon “The Flintstones.”

The house, designed in the ’70s, has long been a fantastical fixture on drives down Interstate 280. Former media mogul Florence Fang bought the house for $2.8 million in 2017 and added such eclectic decor to the yard, including a herd of dinosaur statues, it led to a lawsuit from the city in 2019.

After the door, guests will head to the unusual dining room — a small, dimly lit cave adorned with stalactites and a statue of Fred Flintstone. A U-shaped table leaves just enough room for the chef, who prepares dishes featuring uni (sea urchin) and wagyu beef, according to the posts.

According to the restaurant’s Instagram account, Stone Age Omakase will offer reservations for dinner from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Reservations will be available via https://stoneageomakase.com beginning at 6 p.m. July 3.
