    My husband and Injad dinner outdoors at Akita Back. The courtyard setting was relaxing attractive. Tables were spaced apart to allow private conversation. We split the seaweed salad which was unique (3 different kinds) and artfully oresented. We then shared the halibut and black cod main courses along with the satires mushrooms. Michael provided expert service throughout our meal. All our selections were delicious including the bottle of sake we ordered to complement the food. Highly recommended for those who don’t mind paying up for quality of food, service and setting.

    This one is easy to review. The food and service are always spot on. It's not inexpensive but it is worth it. One of the best restaurants in all of South Florida. This management and staff know what they are doing and do it well.

    Food is outstanding and very unique. You need to be open to renew but very interesting experience. Our server was excellent. Not only impromptu this, but in her knowledgeable understanding of each dish which, as I said is a bit unique.

    Overall, an excellent evening. Very good, knowledgeable waiter who kept the dishes coming in pretty well spaced intervals. Some of the items are just too expensive for what they are, and that’s annoying. But this is a good restaurant serving excellent food.
