    The service, food, drinks and ambiance were incredible. I haven’t had that much fun at a restaurant in a long time. Our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were taking care of for my sister’s birthday and we are so grateful! Thank you!

    My friends and I had an unforgettable time at Edgemar Restaurant for the CHOP-LIFE Brunch, and wow what an absolute vibe! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wasn't just brunch it was an experience. The energy was electric. Multiple DJs kept the beats flowing, creating an atmosphere that was lively, upscale, and full of good energy. Everyone came dressed to impress, and the vibe was consistent from start to finish good music, good people, and a stylish scene. The staff were a highlight in their own right friendly, funny, and genuinely kind. They added to the welcoming atmosphere and made sure we were well taken care of throughout. Now let’s talk about the food. Absolutely delicious. Every dish was flavorful, well prepared, and beautifully presented. However, as a self-proclaimed foodie, I have to say the portions were on the smaller side. For the price point, I expected a bit more. The meals felt more like appetizers than mains, and when you’re paying premium prices, you want to leave satisfied. I don’t mind spending money on great food, but it should match in both quality and quantity. That said, aside from the portion size, everything else was top notch. We had a fantastic time, and I’d definitely go back just maybe after grabbing a snack first!

    From the moment I arrived, my experience was nothing short of impeccable. The two lovely ladies at the host stand were so friendly and welcoming, and my server was super helpful and informative. But Chef Ryan truly sealed the deal the food was a 10/10! Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. Such a memorable experience highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back!

    We've been to Rokusho twice and love it. It's a bit pricey, but what isn't these days?--and, besides, artistry costs, so it's well worth it. The menu changes frequently, as our waitress said when I mentioned I had the short ribs last time. You can check the menu online, but I have to look up a lot of words, and even then, it is always quite a surprise. A beautiful one, because every dish we have had has been wonderful. I've decided I can order anything; don't worry about it. It is primarily seafood, but they have always had other things, too. There's no sukiyaki or tempura, or if it is, it is very creative. The interior is stunning in dark grays and blacks and woods, and the service staff have been great, and they can tell you in detail what everything is. We are very pleased.
