    Had the most fabulous birthday dinner with the girls at Bar Japonais, and honestly, we're still talking about it. From the moment we sat down, our server Devonte made the evening unforgettable. After my friend casually mentioned it was my birthday, Devonte magically appeared with bubbly that was so smooth and light, we meant to ask what it was so we could make it our official celebration sip (aka girls' night fuel). A mystery we intend to solve on our next visit. Devonte guided us through the menu. Standouts? The salmon hand roll — generous and satisfying. The spicy tuna maki? A flavor bomb. The chicken and steak skewers were juicy perfection. Only slight miss was the tempura — a bit meh, so next time we’re doubling down on the spicy edamame. Dessert? Yes, we ordered all three. Because birthdays. The unanimous winner was the chocolate cake, which was light, refreshing, and dreamy. Oh, and Devonte? He sang happy birthday when the desserts came out. A server and a performer! We’re already plotting our next reservation, whether it’s for another big celebration or just a weeknight lychee cosmo (shout-out to the bartenders for mixing magic).

    Always a favorite for us from start to finish! On this visit, Jessica was absolutely lovely with check-in, seating us, and seeing us off when we finished. Damon was great, patient and engaging as we discussed cocktails and food choices. And as always, the team was professional and on point! Looking forward to our next visit already!
