    The food was excellent and the tasting menu was an amazing way to enjoy many different dishes. Definitely a great way to enjoy a birthday dinner with family. Their service was great and always checking in on the table. Server Dani was very helpful with suggestions and this establishments ambiance was great. I think this was better than Uchi. Thank you for a wonderful birthday experience!
