    My husband and I went to Rikasa for Valentines dinner. We were greeted very warmly and welcomed. This was our first visit, and we’re pleasantly surprised at the restaurant. Our server was Patrick, he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food. You could tell that Patrick gets excited about their food and wine listing. Patrick went into detail about everything. The Caesar salad was spectacular. I LOVE salads and I usually judge most restaurants by the lettuce and if their salad dressing is homemade…-excellent. I had the sea bass and my husband had the braised short rib. The sea bass was so good and the portions were really nice. We absolutely loved this venue and we are so happy to have come here. We will be back. My husband said we felt like we made friends with Patrick, he was great.

    The atmosphere and service are always outstanding. The food was delicious. My only "complaint" is that the cocktail prices are too high. You can get well balanced delicious cocktails at almost any restaurant locally or otherwise for AT LEAST $2-$3 less.
