    From me: let me paint you a picture. First, think of the most idealized version of a strawberry/basil martini and that’s what was delivered as my drink. It truly lived up to the hype the waitress claimed. Next, the pork belly actually wasn’t just fat. It came with actual meat to chew and enjoy and the sweet potatoes it rests on is to die for. The steaks lived up to all expectations with the peppercorn crust and piping hot plate to keep it warm throughout the meal. But lastly, the star of the show was the cheesecake. If I had to describe our meal, it would be a ramp where the very top of the experience was desert. We’re talking about locally sourced honey on top of a light and airy chiffon cheesecake with just a dollop of champagne icing and a scoop of fruit. It was incredible and totally worth every penny. Our serve staff Jaxson and Stephanie were exceptional and the managers were so kind to check on us multiple times. We love this place and recommend it to anyone interested in a high end meal that’s worth the price. From my wife: GET THE CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!! seriously though, you won’t be disappointed at any point in your meal. It’s phenomenal food, amazing drinks, and the best staff you could imagine.

    We had a party of 8 for a Valentine’s Day dinner. It couldn’t have gone smoother. We were sat before our reservation time and the wait staff did an incredible job. The food was just outstanding. I travel a lot for work and go all over the US. I can say without a doubt this is the best sushi I’ve had. I would highly recommend Bon Sake for any occasion.

    The experience was great. Maddy was very kind,attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was excellent. Having the grill items come out on a sizzling plate with butter is a wonderful touch. The smell of brown butter cooking with steak stayed with me all evening. Will be going back this weekend we loved it so much.
