    We have been here three or four times. My uncle loved this place, before he passed. My son wanted to go here for his birthday, and it turned out awesome. I just went recently for Valentines, and it was a great atmosphere, and felt private. They were quick, with the water refills, and always checked to make sure everything was great… Thanks!

    The host/hostess were not attractively speaking at all! Two girls did not have the stylish attitude, spoke or acted non-attractively. They were acting like grade school snooty but dorky girls. The server at the waiting bar for the Teppan ares was also not smooth and stylishly spoke. We felt like we were at the Hispanic non-english speakers' mid-end restaurant. So we said quietly "Were we really at the Mikado??" Also when we were taking a picture on the hallway, this waitress annoyingly shawted to us "EXCUSE ME!". Teppan chef was so fun and pro!!! Spoke well with a magical show.

    I hesitate to say how much I love restaurant, but only because it is fairly small and I want to return again and again. The food was excellent, and everything I want in an Italian restaurant. Great service at the table and at the bar. The decor and lighting are tasteful and romantic and the black and white photos add a dash of excitement to the proceedings. Patrons are encouraged to dress nicely, which is a welcome relief!
