Restaurants near Washington Place

Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

Despite reading bad reviews, I made a reservation anyway as this has been on my list of speakeasy’s to go to. Yours Truly did not disappoint. They were complete opposite of the bad reviews. Service was amazing from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Everything was explained in detail which made us feel comfortable and confident. Few selections for food but it was definitely good food. The drinks were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this if you’re looking for a cute speakeasy experience.

Kuro's combo set and couple set were fantastic. The combo set came with delicious noodles and crunchy tonkatsu. The broth, especially with lemons, in combination to noodles which had the perfect amount of chewiness and immaculate texture was very flavorful. The tender meat inside of the flaky bread crumbs was very easy to chew, but lasted long enough in my mouth so that I could savor it. The couple set came with plenty of tonkatsu. Both of these sets also came with shrimp katsu, which was wonderful, not to mention the flavor-packed sauces to go with the tonkatsu and salad. There were ample amounts of food for everyone, and overall, this restaurant was a great experience. I will be coming back with more friends to share the masterful cooking of Kuro.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.

We had excellent service for our large party during lunch time. The server was very patient and accommodating.
