The service was outstanding as always, the server who serve us at show tables was fantastic. Then went to the bar, my wife asked if we can sit by the empty booth tables, the bartender went out of his way to make us comfortable! He was very attentive and provided great service!!

Some of the best cocktails I've ever had, period. We sat at the bar and the service was outstanding. Food was delicious and complimented the evening, but the cocktails really are the star of the show here. The setting is quite romantic, dimly lit and quiet, incense, ambient music, friendly, refined. It's pricey for drinks, for sure, but you feel like you're getting something of the highest quality and you're the only one drinking quite so well. For a special occasion, it's hard to beat Kumiko.

Celebrated a friends birthday at this restaurant to start the night. Food was delicious, definitely recommend City Dipper. EVERYONE finished their dishes. Prices were alright, expected in the city but made up for their taste. They brought out a sparkler/desert for my friend & was perfect!
