    One note: 7pm reservation. Arrived 5 minutes early. Went to bar to wait for table as instructed. No contact of any kind from front desk until 8:05pm. That lack of communication is inexcusable. We ate at the bar and were served an excellent meal promptly by a friendly bartender.

    We went on a slow Monday midafternoon to celebrate our engagement! The Ikura was amazing, and the portion of crab Poke was generous and very delicious. The house salad came out lightning fast too! I would Highly recommend this place to any couple as a fun weeknight date or a special occasion. The photos don't do the ambiance justice. Can't wait to see what this place looks like in the evening!

    Everything we ordered was tasty and delicious. The decor and ambiance was delightful. The service was A+, and it was relatively quiet for a nice romantic dinner (granted, it was a Wednesday). The prices were very good for what we ordered – artisan cocktails, appetizer, entrees, and dessert – $100 for two of us.
