    Lovely atmosphere in the rooftop dining room. Our server was very attentive and took really good care of us. The food and drinks were wonderful, and the delicious dessert was provided by the restaurant since we were celebrating my birthday. After dinner, we enjoyed live music downstairs. We will definitely be back to Rikasa!

    Food and ambiance were really great. The service was lacking. Bartender wasn’t very friendly and extremely inattentive! Also at about 9:45 they put all the lights on, basically to say “please leave”. We have never experienced that in a fine dining restaurant. Not in a hurry to go back.

    Overall not a bad experience but could have been better. Food portions are huge for what's suppose to be a more "fine dining" experience and tasty for the most part. The calamari was our least favorite of the night (chewy and lacked seasoning). Service was pretty good. Some drinks were good while others were expensive and did not live up to the hype (very weak and sweet). Very cool atmosphere being on the rooftop.

    Drinks, dinner and service were amazing Thursday night. We had the chicken and dumpling soup as an appetizer which is to die for, and the spicy blush and mushroom Marsala pastas for dinner every thing was fantastic.
