    The staff seated me really quickly. Even though I was a little early. They also accommodated me when I didn’t like the original seat they gave me. The restaurant is a little loud, but if you sit outside, you can have a great conversation.

    What a wonderful night. We celebrated my husband’s birthday. The food was excellent but the staff was simply the best. Our waiter went above and beyond to accommodate our guests. Then Gary, one of the managers I assume, fell in love with my mother in law as she reminded him of his grandma. He absolutely treated her like a queen and at the end opened a champagne bottle to finish the celebration for us. Will be coming back soon!

    Really cool spot. Primarily a saki bar, but does have what they would consider smaller plates. They're definitely larger than I was expecting them to be. Overall, everything was excellent.

    I took my wife here for our 3 year anniversary! I typically do not leave reviews but the experience was so outstanding I feel compelled. Food was exceptional, vegan-friendly is putting it light, easily the best service I have ever had, as well as they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is a well rounded, inclusive and you can feel the love put into it from the owner/creator. Debbie took care of us all evening, she was wonderful. I have had many fine dining experiences throughout Miami/Tampa/St. Pete and I would say this was my best thus far. We will absolutely be back and will continue to share the word!
