    Our Our visit to Jimoto recently to celebrate a birthday was fabulous. The food is always the best, and our waitress was attentive, charming, and pleasant. We’ll definitely return for other events and will happily refer Jimoto to friends.

    Jimoto was a nice diversion from the more-traditional faire on a cold November's night. The restaurant was busy and felt understaffed. Our server was both helpful in explaining the menu and as attentive as possible but given the number of stations she had to serve; we were constantly waiting for the next course we had ordered. The Udon was fabulous - the nigiri was nicely cut, too. The rolls we ordered were good-not-great. A bit too much sauce... Would I return? Yes, as it's convenient enough to our house to be attractive.
