Shout out to Brandon and Jesse for setting up...

I love this place. I used to come here as a child, and I loved the Koi fish. I always did, and, always will, love the Koi fish.

The food is excellent. I ordered one roll and it was great. The food passing by also looked delicious.

The service is both prompt, yet, individualized. I asked my waiter to serve my drinks prior to my meal, as is my preference. Everything was timed to my liking and I was more than appreciative.

I was alone; tending to my studies. I had to get up a few times and the bartender/server was diligent enough to ensure my beverages were served directly to me, or protected so they would not be tampered with. This act alone demonstrates a high degree of professionalism and genuine dedication to customer safety.

The atmosphere in the bar/lounge is incredible. I am a graduate student, so I was especially pleased to be able to comfortably do course work while sipping a cocktail 🍸 ❤️ Perhaps, business professionals or travelers may find this information useful.

Moreover, aside from the exceptional service, I must add commentary in regards to the exemplary Valet Service. The valet attendant politely inquired in regards to my sobriety and even offered an open space to reach out if I need help calling a car service.

Truly, such a wonderful experience. Appreciate all those that made this a great...

Easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Had a special family dinner planned, made a reservation, ended up needing to wait almost an hour after the reservation time for a table due to the host marking us as partially arrived when our whole party was one minute late and we told him multiple times we were all there. When I went up to ask how much longer the wait would be after waiting 15 minutes, he mentioned he would mark us as all arrived, even though he said he would do so when we first arrived. He then said it would only be another 10-15 more minutes. When I went back up 15 minutes later, the other hostess was extremely rude and made no attempt to neutralize the situation. All she said was that we "needed to have patience with them."

Once we were finally sat down, the chef, Brandon, was great. He was the only positive of the night. The kitchen did not give him enough meat for all our meals so my mom and brother were left without chicken. They ended up cooking it in the back and taking 20 minutes to bring out after everyone else's food was done. They also forgot to sing Happy Birthday to the lady next to us whose birthday it was. To top it off, we ended up getting food poisoning. Based on other reviews, it sounds like this was an unusually bad experience, but I personally would recommend you avoid...
