    Went to Rikasa for my wedding anniversary and it was excellent! My wife's dinner and mine were both delicious. Appetizers were great and timing of every course was perfect!

    Majority of the food we had was really delicious. I had the tuna tartar which was awesome - my husband had the meatball and the sauce was outstanding. For entree, he had a special of stuffed veal which he loved. I had the veal marsala - which was good I just personally like a sweeter marsala sauce and this was more of a dry wine tasting sauce. Still good but if you are someone who prefers a sweeter sauce I would try something else. They serve Pepsi and awesome cocktails also. Had creme brulee which was outstanding though I do wish it came with some fruit or cream on it or on the side. Overall will definitely go back to try more items!
