    We had a wonderful experience tonight at Mizu, We were celebrating my partners birthday and the staff was amazingly friendly from the moment we walked in. The energy was just right around us and our server Julia was great. There was a birthday card on the table when we sat down and the manager stopped by and offered a toast when we’re seated and it was a perfect touch on a perfect evening! Thank you all again
