Great restaurant! The food is high quality. Our only problem was Google maps headshot to the back of the hotel and you must enter through the front. Otherwise, the experience was great.

Makoto is my favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious! The only thing I wish they could improve, is the noise level. When it gets crowded, it is pretty loud. I went there for my friend’s birthday and we both loved it and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!
