Incredibly nice and customer-focused staff. Three menu items not available, other food was mid, the couches and seats were oddly uncomfortable and the Japanese theme wasn’t obvious. Notwithstanding this, the experience with our friends was fine.

This speakeasy was such a great experience for a girls night out. The prices were not too bad and the portions were big enough to share.

The bakery staff were helpful, the hostess accommodated our group, and Amadeus was a courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable waiter. Our group of 8 had a blast trying all sorts of cocktails. Many loved the perfect martini. The Stache, Shinjuku, and Jungle Bird were great too. Food is a good value (actually shareable amongst a few people) and very tasty. We had the karaage and ceviche. Would definitely recommend!
