What a great place to spend a birthday dinner with family! I think it helped to have a reservation because they were very busy at 7 pm but we were seated right away, and our waitress was very nice. The food is always good there and we particularly enjoyed the Harami skirt steak with the miso marinade. On this visit we tried the hot butter corn in the skillet and the bacon chips, and both were a huge hit at the table!
