    Zach was a great servor and food was delicious. Portions could’ve been larger. Lower priced sake options would’ve been appreciated. Thanks for a nice night!

    Visited with 7 people during a busy holiday week. Really exceptional service and great food. I can't say enough nice things about our truly wonderful waitress -- she was SO friendly and quick and I am sorry I don't know her name. All the service staff (bussers, etc.) were very attentive and wonderful. When our table wasn't ready, they switched us over to a quiet room, which was great for our family birthday celebration. Food came out really fast and was delicious.
