    What a lovely evening at Next Door! Toby is a fantastic server, he was incredibly helpful and enthusiastic. The miso soup and shishito peppers were the perfect start to a really wonderful meal! The large sashimi plate was incredible and a bowl of sushi rice was the perfect accompaniment - this may be my new favorite meal! The chuturo, ikura and hamachi were particularly great today. It was really lovely to see and talk to several members of staff tonight despite a wine dinner and two private dining room bookings this evening. Thank you all for always being so warm and friendly! See you soon!

    First time going to Texas DeBrazil and our waiter Ray was amazing. We came here for our anniversary and wanted to try something fancier than our normal date nights. It was an amazing experience all around. Everyone provided amazing service. Ray explained everything and was so patient with us. He even recommended us a beer similar to the one we wanted and now we love a Brazilian beer lol.
