    Food was great but our server did not seem to care that we were there. The only time she came to our table was when we initially sat down and when we had to ask for our check. Unfortunate because I usually love Wabi and had friends in town. Their only comment that it was one of the worst serving experiences to date.

    They need to stop serving refrigerator-cold pre made sushi rolls, if I wanted that I could get it at Ralph's. Very disappointed

    Discovered this cute place. Love the bar and decor, but when we went, there were not a lot of people so the vibe was a little off. However food was amazing!

    The restaurant was CLOSED. NO Indication of that online or on Open Table. Ended up trying Indonesian food across the street which was FABULOUS

    It’s worth trying once but not going back to. I thought the food was good, but not great and our waiter was not particularly helpful in guiding us through the somewhat eclectic menu.

    Came here for the first time for a Birthday celebration and everything exceeded our expectations! The food was just incredible, along with amazing service and ambiance. Highly recommend to check this place out if you haven’t already.
