Had a great experience at Yamamori Izakaya. The atmosphere was lively but still cozy, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The hot stone beef and the ebi dragon roll were the stars of the night—both packed with flavour and really well presented. Our waiter, Greg, was fantastic—super attentive without hovering, and he had great recommendations for both food and drinks that really paid off. He made us feel really looked after, and it definitely added to the whole experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!
