    Everything about this experience was top notch! Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, great atmosphere, lovely view, and our waiter was fantastic! After dinner we hung out and listened to live music in The Joint before heading out. Definitely can’t wait to go back.

    My boyfriend and I went today for our first experience with Rikasa. Food was fantastic and timed perfectly. Cocktails were carefully made and both delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Pat was our waiter, may have been our best server anywhere. Knowledgable on the menu and drink choices and timely on checking in without being overbearing. This was our first time at rikasa but will not be our last.
