    Kessaku is always a win for us. The service was particularly outstanding during our last visit. Alexis was truly a standout! Her recommendations hit every time on both drinks and food. She consistently checked in and had us laughing each time. Her high level of service enhanced the wonderful experience we have every time we visit Kessaku.

    Went with work colleagues and had a fantastic time. Jose, our server, was phenomenal; paid close attention to dietary restrictions and made wonderful recommendations. Shared the honey and mushroom pizzas and didn’t have a slice left. The pasta entrees were fresh and delicious. Jose’s wine recommendations were spot on. And a sampling of each dessert was shared and enjoyed by all. Definitely recommend!
