   We have been here many times and enjoyed it, but this time was far below our expectations from the service end of things. We arrived early for our 5:30 reservation and it was very busy this time so we were seated 10 minutes after our reservation window began. As if that weren't frustrating enough, the waiter came up to us multiple times to tell us that our reservation window was ending at 7:20. They tell you that you get a 2 hour reservation period, but in fact short changed us 20 minutes due to both seating us late and by saying that our reservation window was ending 10 minutes earlier than our actual reservation time. We were also not given the hand towels at the beginning of the reservation and when we asked about it were told that they don't usually give them to two-tops which is not true as this is the first time out of many that we never received them. We also noticed that some of their drinkware has been switched to standard glasses which is also disappointing.

   Hello Roger, Thank you for sharing this about your recent experience at Tiki Tatsu-ya. We understand how frustrating it can be to be seated late. It is not our policy to enforce a time limit or shorten guests' visit when seated late, and we will address this with your server. Our glassware for the colorful "homage cocktail" menu has remained unchanged save the Forbidden Grog (the original mugs have sadly been lost at sea). We hope you'll give us another chance to show you the quality service and delicious drinks that you've come to expect from us. Thank you, Matt and Tiki Tatsu-Ya Team

   This whole experience in itself was amazing and fun. The drinks were so good but on the pricier side. They didn’t have much food but what we got was enough. It is confusing because if you don’t know or didn’t do a lap around the building you wouldn’t know it’s in the back.

   Firstly, and most importantly, the food was amazing, service too. I am going to return. However, what wasn't amazing unfortunately was the atmosphere. It was very loud, the two person table my wife and I were sitting at was against the wall and right at the door to the stairs of The Nest. Needless to say, that table isn't their best. However, it was very cold and the door repeatedly opening and closing behind me kept my chair and myself pretty cold. Add all this together and I think you'll find the review justified, but that Tiki's food rocks. But as a Valentines dinner it was a 2 out of 5.

   Server was less than enthusiastic but maybe was having a bad day. I did not catch his name. The food was phenomenal but the drinks were a little too sweet. Loved the ambiance.

   Food was amazing! Loud but fun environment. They really pushed us on getting out after about an hour though. Not sure we could have eaten any faster. We definitely would have gotten dessert/another drink but they wanted us out. Overall good night, just a little odd.
