    Our server Lenny was so friendly and helpful. Both our server and food runner took time to explain every part of the menu, and the aspects to each dish we ordered. My partner and I are certain we’ve had some of the best cocktails and the best sushi at Miku. Quality is their specialty and their service is always impeccable. Especially on a busy night like Valentine’s Day, everything ran smoothly for us and we were provided with a booth for the two of us which made dinner extra special! Thank you to the manager as well for responding quickly via email when I had questions about the set menu! Highly recommend their Aburi set, as it gives you a chance to try a variety of items, and for drinks the bergamot sour is a go to for a sweet yet balanced cocktail!

    We’ve been here many times, I think Valentine’s Day made it not quite as smooth of an experience as usual. The cocktails were top notch, the sablefish risotto was fantastic, pizza amazing as always, the burger was good but not as good as previous ones. My only negative comment on this restaurant is the metal chair legs on the concrete floors are horrendously noisy and it takes away from the atmosphere. Still love this place and truly understand the Michelin Recommended!

    Went here for Valentine’s day. We tried their 4 course dinner and it did not disappoint us. The food was delicious and the ambiance setting was romantic with petals on the table. Our server Kevin, was fabulous. Will definitely be back again.

    We went to blue canoe for dine out which was great, initially the appetizers took a while to come out, but after they did it was smooth sailing from there. The Risotto was really well done, crab cakes were nice, and overall we really enjoyed the experience. We were also in a rush to pick someone up from the airport, and after asking to receive the entree and dessert together, the wait staff was able to oblige to get us out faster. All in all, great seafood house in a great location.
