    Lunch today was a positive experience from being greeted at the welcoming station through the meal. Alberto Petricca is a great host and Allejandro as always is friendly and very reliable and attentive. The food was fine and the ambiance on the second floor is above the average -very lovely, quiet but not without vitality. It was a business lunch and by placing us in a corner table, they were sensitive for the need for some privacy. The price was appropriate. I'll go back for either business or pleasure.

    Great place to go before a show! Delicious food and fast service. They know how to get out out in time for the theatre. We go to The Back Deck all the time and have never been disappointed!

    A great dining experience. I’ve eaten a lot of Asian foods, but I had never had a hot pot. The service was excellent explaining how everything worked, heat levels, add-ons, etc. just listen to them explain and ask any questions. Side note: If you order appetizers or sushi wait until you finish them to order your hot pot. It came out quickly. It and everything with it took up almost the entire table.
