    The food is amazing! Especially the seaweed salad, the matcha cocktail, the salmon tartar.. absolutely crave worthy! That said, our waitress forgot to bring my friend her cocktail, we waited a long time to cheers to my birthday as a result and then, even knowing it was my birthday kept asking if we were done or wanted to order a desert multiple times instead of just letting us enjoy our conversation or being thoughtful and bringing something as a nod to my birthday and the fact that we waited 20 minutes for the other cocktail to arrive (she probably forgot to order the second one…, it was that delayed). All in all I’d come back but I hope I don’t have that same waitress again. She wasn’t very thoughtful.

    The staff were all nice and accommodating. The food & drinks were delicious. We got the tsuma drink and a mocktail with the emoji in its name. All cute and tasty drinks. For food we shared 2 rolls, skirt steak skewers and the short rib. The short rib was so tender it slid off the fork.

    Every dish is pure bliss, but the iwashi toast is ecstasy. Service is top-notch, too, and so helpful when trying to narrow down options.
