    First class service! Attention to detail right down to the napkin holders! The seasonal sangria was recommended by our waiter and did not disappoint! We both had the 14 oz Australian Wagyu steak which was cooked to perfection and served over mashed potatoes and asparagus. Our friends enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and a veal dish , which they thoroughly enjoyed. The crème brûlée and cheesecake desserts were very good. 10/10 dining experience!

    We arrived a little early, and we were immediately greeted and shown to our table. The service staff were very attentive. Our server, Kate, was seemingly at our tableside every time we looked up but was never intrusive. Between the four of us, we had a variety of menu items and cooking styles. All arrived together and at temperature. The quality of the food was outstanding. Nothing overly spiced, and the taste was superb. I could go back for the next thirty days and not repeat myself.

    Great experience in the rooftop restaurant. Sea bass and scallops were perfect. Started with 2 salads that were dressed nicely with house Italian. Drinks were absolutely delicious. Enjoyed their Fireside Whiskey among others. And let me say, Nick was outstanding! The perfect amount of attention without being bothersome or having us wait for anything. Wonderful time. Be back soon!

    Service and atmosphere were great. The food was reasonably priced. Unfortunately our food was extremely over salted to the point that my fiancé didn’t even eat half of her dinner

    My husband and I went to Rikasa for Valentines dinner. We were greeted very warmly and welcomed. This was our first visit, and we’re pleasantly surprised at the restaurant. Our server was Patrick, he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food. You could tell that Patrick gets excited about their food and wine listing. Patrick went into detail about everything. The Caesar salad was spectacular. I LOVE salads and I usually judge most restaurants by the lettuce and if their salad dressing is homemade…-excellent. I had the sea bass and my husband had the braised short rib. The sea bass was so good and the portions were really nice. We absolutely loved this venue and we are so happy to have come here. We will be back. My husband said we felt like we made friends with Patrick, he was great.
