Every dish and every cocktail was outstanding. Flavor explosions with every bite, well balanced and unique cocktails. Gabby and Rudy took great care of us, George is a true hospitalitarian, and everyone who came to our table was so knowledgeable about the item they were serving. Great restaurant, great staff. Completely understandable why they earned a Michelin star. Run, don’t walk, to your reservation now!

Another exquisite visit to Uchi. The service was fabulous from the moment we walked in. We let our server Jessica give us some guidance on our menu for the evening, and her recommendations did not disappoint. The sake tom kha was delicious, with a flavor packed tom kha reduction. We also had an ocean trout nigiri on special that was so delicious, we ordered seconds. We’ll be back!

Overall, as usual, another fantastic addition to the Uchi family of restaurants. Outstanding. The food, the service, the menu - impeccable. The one thing that I found surprising was (IMO) the lack luster of the ambiance. I have always loved the aesthetics of his restaurants - this one fell flat to me. Our server, Anthony, was fabulous! I’m partial to Uchi and Uchiko.
