Our first time at this restaurant. The server was excellent and helped us navigate the menu. Food was some of the best Japanese I have ever had-- I have visited Japan over 6 times. We will definitely return on our next visit to NYC.

We really enjoyed this restaurant and everything it had to offer. This was our first visit, and from the moment we arrived, we were impressed. We received a genuinely warm welcome, something that has become increasingly rare in today’s restaurant scene. After being seated, we were immediately offered water and a cocktail menu. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and especially skilled at helping us navigate a new dining experience. As we ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrées, he never pushed one menu item over another. Instead, he answered our questions thoughtfully and offered helpful suggestions when we asked for them. In the end, we had a very enjoyable dinner, excellent drinks, and, just as importantly, the opportunity to relax and appreciate the outstanding service provided by our waiter and the other staff members who supported him. This restaurant has been serving quality meals and providing excellent service since 1984, and that experience clearly shows. With some updating to the dining room, I believe it could appeal to an even broader and younger audience while continuing to satisfy the longtime patrons who have supported it for so many years.

Such a nice space, pretty crowded for a Monday afternoon. Food was very good, service was attentive. Remembered a birthday and everyone from the hostess to the server wished Mom a happy birthday. Even had a candle in a dessert with server singing Happy Birthday.

great dining experience. food preparation and presentation were excellent. The menu is not extensive which allows the chef to excel. You need to try the bigloi tagliati as an appetizer. The wine list is a work of art. At over 230 pages it can seem overwhelming but Sean Price is great at helping you choose the right wine
