    Love this restaurant! We visit a couple times a year as we pass through the area and have never been disappointed. Last night we started with calamari appetizer which was really tasty and perfectly crispy. We shared a beet salad that was delicious. My husband chose pork katsu. He loved it. I tasted it also and had to agree it was very tasty. He requested some extra sauce which our server gladly brought to the table. Our server was friendly, the back wait staff were also friendly and efficient. The wine list is not huge but great selections that are very reasonable. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area or up for a slightly off the beaten path trip.

    We were 30 minutes early and they found room for us. The food was delicious and the service… first rate. Excellent value. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Very enjoyable experience for our party of seven. Reservations online was very easy. Bought a couple of reminders to confirm no changes to the reservations. Seated promptly when we arrived. Our waitress greeted us at the table pretty quickly. The establishment was very busy for a Thursday night. Our waitress brought our appetizers and drinks fairly quickly. Our food was brought out relatively quickly, and everybody was happy with their meals. We all had a variety of different things, and everybody was very pleased.
