    My husband and I chose Nami for dinner off of the recommendation of a friend. We’re local and wanted to celebrate my birthday and a promotion for my husband. When I tell you it was the BEST night, I mean it with my whole body. Everyone was so kind and on the ball all throughout the service. Our server, Edwin, gave stellar recommendations and I’m so glad we listened. Each wave of food kept reaching new levels of fantastic. We had the tuna pizza, octopus skewers, lobster donuts, beetroot roll with uni on top, the hamachi that was an off-menu item for tonight, as well as the eggplant. We topped off an amazing dinner with a hazelnut dessert. It was easily one of the top 3 (if not #1) dining experiences we’ve ever had and that includes our international travels. This restaurant is an absolute MUST visit. You will not be disappointed. We can’t wait to go back again and try new things! Thank you again Edwin and all the amazing staff we met! Chef, you are a true genius!

    We started with the Burrata which was uniquely delicious. Secondly, we enjoyed the meatballs. We split the lamb chops as our meal. They were perfectly prepared. Our waiter was very attentive, and he did not rush us to finish. It was an enjoyable evening!
