    We had dinner in your fine dining restaurant and were very disappointed in our meal. Sapporo’s was delicious a few years ago but now the quality is mediocre at best and the prices are way too high. A couple of weeks ago we tried your Pizzaria. Our pizza was soggy and the sausage had no flavor. We will never go back:(
