Lovely service and lovely food. It’s hard to read the menu and know what your food will be like so make sure to ask the server for descriptions if you’ve got picky eaters in your party.

10s across the board: great service and atmosphere, incredible food, nice upkeep. Seared tuna crispy rice, yams, black cod, and uni pasta were our faves. First time my date has been to Mrs. Fish; she loved it.

Wonderful Wicked theme 3 course menu that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed before watching Wicked across the street at the Pantages. From the moment you walk into the Living Room, the ambience and vibe were very “Emerald City”. We sat in the dining room which had a more intimate vibe. Presentation was perfection, dinner was delicious and service was superior. The attention to detail and white glove treatment was chef’s kiss. The staff and Joanna were awesome. 10/10 would recommend. Hubby and I truly enjoyed our Hollywood Holidate!
