    My sweetheart and I went to celebrate his birthday today (his birthday is on Christmas Day). Overall, it was a nice dinner, a bit pricey for two people and small portions. I had the tortellini, and you don’t get much even for the Sinner option and could’ve been cooked a little longer, but it wasn’t bad. We also had the short ribs, and they were very tender and would recommend them. The broccolini was good and the mac & cheese was decent. For his birthday, we selected the cheesecake, and that was really good. Our server was great. It’s a nice spot for a date night and low-key birthday dinner. Great ambience, but it did get busy for Christmas Eve and the noise level was a little high, but overall we enjoyed it.

    I was able to pre celebrate my birthday. The area was very nice, ambience was great. Loved the playlist while everyone and Jame and eat while still having class. Food was surprisingly great although not hot as I would like but no major complaints. Drinks were great as well. Our waiter was excellent and even surprised me with a birthday dessert and sparklers which I was not expecting. I will return back for sure. I initially was scheduled to have my dinner on that Saturday but was cancelled with no notice so I did have to call and find out why which the young lady was able to tell me that someone had booked the entire restaurant. It would have been nice if the reason could have been included or a posting on one of the social media accounts … and then perhaps some type of accommodation or free item for the inconvenience.

    I come to Niwa weekly and there’s a reason I always keep coming back! Joe, Steven, Alex and Angel are always wonderful and pay close attention to my allergies. The food is fantastic and not overpriced. Jimmy has stopped by my table a few times on separate occasions and is always an absolute gem to talk to. The food, staff and ambiance are 1000/10 and I will always recommend this place to everyone I know! If you can’t make up your mind when looking at the menu a few of my favorites are the filet, hanger steak, 44 farms short rib, pork jowl, zucchini, mushroom medley, ajitama eggs, wagyu deviled eggs and you can’t leave without getting a bag of the spicy OG Wagyu Boyz beef jerky, it is to die for!

    Our waiter was so cool and chill, only reason I gave 4 stars was because the hostesses took forever to sit us at a table that was open since we had walked in right next to the door.
