    We were seated about 25 minutes after our reservation time and then it took forever for our cook to arrive. We were at the restaurant for nearly 3 and a half hours total.

    Space was too cramped. Like the enthusiasm of the chef but needs more training. Food was mediocre.

    We had a 8pm reservation that we showed up at 7:45pm for. We were not seated until 8:30pm and it felt as though we were forgotten about. Us and another party felt that we should’ve been seated sooner at the time of our reservation. We got seated 30 mins after our reservation and after we placed our drink order and food order the hostess sat another family down at our table. We didn’t leave the restaurant until 1030pm. We were at the restaurant for almost 3 hours due to slow service by the hostess and server.

    Aloha Robert, We are very sorry for the initial delay in seating your party. At the start of every shift, our managers and front staff plan out seating arrangements based on our reservations and the size of each party. Our communal dining tables makes this process similar to that of a puzzle, and we were thrown for a loop when you party of 2 turned out to be a party of 4 upon arrival during one of our busiest times. In turn, our front staff had to consult with our dining room managers on how to re-orchestrate the seating. Regardless, it saddens us any time our guests are dissatisfied for any reason and hope you will accept our apologies. We would also like to thank you for rating the Food, Ambience, and Value all 5-stars, and hope that we will have an opportunity to serve you again.

    なにかの記念日ですか？と聞いて下さったのでお伝えしましたが何もなく。 あれるぎーがある事もお伝えしたのですが かわりの物はなく、、 すこし前とは変わったなぁと思いました。お料理は好きなので少し残念なきもちになってしまいました。
