Beautiful restaurant and already planning to come back here in the summer when there’s outdoor dining! Breathtaking views of both the city and water. Ambiance is so elegant and elevated. This is truly a luxe restaurant. Also, the tiramisu is delicious.

A very good dinner at Wokuni. Agedashi tofu was excellent as was the Kaisen Hitsumabushi. Sake by the glass was very good. Would like to see an expanded Happy Hour offering on the menu. Looking forward to returning to try more of the menu.

Food was good. Service was stellar. Abit noisy but there were lots of folks in the dining room and I’m sure with a lot of drinks in them. Nothing different to what most bars are like

I booked one of parklife’s solariums for a birthday party and it was the perfect spot- warm enough, even on a very cold December night, and a private comfortable space with good service. Uniquely good for large groups!
