We came at the start of happy hour and our only complaint is that some of our food took quite a while to come out. Other than that everything was delicious

We had a 5:30 reservation for a group group of seven. Five of us were there right at 5:30 and put our drink and dinner orders in. Two arrived after 6 PM and put their drink and food orders in. The late arriving group received their sushi order immediately, but one cocktail never came. The rest of us received our food orders, 45 to 55 minutes after submitting. Twice we were told that the restaurant has two kitchens, which makes timing orders difficult. I’ll say the poor Service and weird timing ruined our dinner party and made us late for the theater.Meh.

Waitress was good, hostess interaction was bizarre in that she offered us a table we requested to change and it just was not an option for us. We were leaving until a manager sat us. The restaurant was 30% full and it made no sense to us that the hostess was insistent.
