    The quality of the drinks and food was impressive. Such great balance of flavors and unique combinations of ingredients yet each felt familiar and spectacular. I was blown away by the black sesame old fashioned and the chicken, mushrooms and cucumber salads are all worth going back for again and again. Extremely high quality ingredients served with care and the highest level of service. It was a treat to spend time at this venue.

    Food was excellent and the atmosphere/ambiance is fun for a date night. Tables are sort of close to each other but that is not a problem for me. Music is also a little loud but not horrible

    First time dining at AKA and it was excellent. The food was great and the restaurant had a cool vibe, a little clubby with a DJ booth that I believe got started later in the evening. The best part of the meal was the cold apps, including the miso snapper and tuna poke, but all the dishes were strong.
