    This was our second time and it didn't disappoint. Food and drinks were excellent. We were celebrating our anniversary and it definitely made fir a special night. They had a limited time holiday cocktail menu also. It's a really nice space. Intimate but lively. It's a 90 minute drive for us but we'll worth the trip. Amadeus and Sam took care of us at bar. Very friendly and accommodating.

    Always a good time at AKA, the ambiance is quiet when you arrive but at 8pm the DJ starts to play, slowly the music gets loud and by 10pm it is like a night club atmosphere. Dancing girls near the DJ keep you pumped up during the end of dinner and you get up and dance by 11pm. The experience is Fun, happy and elegant. You would dress to impress at AKA. It seems the fun starts late but goes on all night. Also on a side note, the Filet Mignon potstickers are the best. I had the Chilean sea bass and my wife had the Black Cod and both dishes did not disappoint. This place is 10 out of 10. I had so much fun. Giancarlo is the host GM, he makes sure everything is running at peak performance. I love this place and highly recommend it. Mikey V

    The small plates are entirely original, owing more to Asian and other fusion than to Spanish tapas. The cocktails were original and enhanced the meal. Ambience was great
