    Food was great...but service was marginal. The server apologized for the service as soon as we sat down and it was only worse from there. There was no one filling drinks, water, or removing plates. We asked for everything multiple times. Others around us complained of the service. I would say this is a management issue, if you do not have enough coverage for New Year's Eve. The food was excellent though.

    I love sushi and was severely disappointed by the quality of the rolls. The spider roll was disappointing; the roll fell apart inmedielty and was extremely large. The only redeeming quality was the vegetable tempura. The waiter disappeared and was never in sight.

    We went to dinner at Sapporo for our son's 16th birthday. We go every year for his birthday and he really enjoys the place and the food. This year it was below average. Our server seemed to concentrate on trying to upsell the food options, which was annoying. When she realized that we weren't interested, she gave our table very little attention. Our food was fine but it was really lacking the fine dining experience we wanted for our family. There wasn't anything special about the night or the food. We won't be coming back to Sapporo.

    We went to Sapporo Grill to celebrate my son's 17th birthday - his request for steak and sushi. Sapporo fit the bill perfectly. The service was excellent and they even brought some dessert for the birthday boy. Sapporo has something for everyone, even the non-sushi eaters. We'll be back!

    we had relied on online reviews. Food not great, and ambiance completely unlike the high end Japanese restaurant we expected. Great for a happy hour if you are 30.

    Sapporo Grill is a fun and lively restaurant with an excellent cocktail list and delicious food. Our group loved the interior design and atmosphere, and the cocktails as high points. The price can really startle you though! Our table of three people ordered no appetizers, and our food orders were pretty modest, and when we got the bill back it was over a hundred dollars. I'd recommend Sapporo for special occasions, but it's a bit overwhelming for a date night or for meeting up after work.

    I have dined at this very classy restaurant on several occasions. I have found that the food and service are both very good. They have a very extensive menu from apps to entrees. One of my favorite apps is the Pork Belly, delicious to look at and also tastes excellent. On my last visit, I did not order any Japanese food but thought I would try the Pork Chop. It was excellent! Elegantly prepared on the grill and accompanied by mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables. Looking for an excellent and quiet dinner, try Sapporo Grill.

    Where to start...30 minutes after we ordered we got our Miso Soup and appetizer, had to ask 5 times for the one soda that was ordered, and asked 3 times for the glass of merlot that never came! Yes NEVER came! Main entrée arrived 45 minutes after order was placed, leaving us just 10 minutes to "enjoy" the food, which was average at best and had to ask Twice to have the wine removed from the bill. We will never go here again and will let all our friends who go to the Broadway Series to stay away if they want to make the opening of the show.

    The food was good and service was acceptable but Sapporo was more of a bar than we expected. Quite a few single men at the bar staring at every woman that entered the establishment so not really a great date spot unless you're into that.

    We went for an early New Year's eve dinner. It was good. Seemed like the quiet before the storm. Loved the ribs (yes, appetizer ribs at $11) and the pepperfin.
