    We treat ourselves a couple times a year and once again we left feeling nourished and well cared for. The exquisite detail and consideration in every offering makes this experience worth the investment.

    Unfortunately this time around the service was not good and the table was 30 minutes late, with a confirmed reservation, and the main host Arvind did not handle that well. He also mentioned that he would take care of us for the delay but never did. And when I finally reminded him while heading out, he was dismissive about the delay, and mentioned the one complimentary birthday dessert, which we have received every year for the last 7 years, its been a tradition for my daughter's birthday, and this was her 16th. And his only reaction was to give me his card and that he would help me with future reservation :) Definitely was not a pleasant experience.

    The restaurant was especially loud this visit, and the service was much slower than usual. However, the food was good as always, and the staff was very knowledgeable about allergies and accommodating of dietary needs.

    Awesome meal! We had the Somakase, which is a more curated version of their omakase pre-determined tasting menu. Every portion was simply delectable.

    A visit to Uchi is an experience. I am never disappointed when I dine there. The food is outstanding; the service, atmosphere and ambiance as well. It’s a fine-dining experience without any of the pomp and circumstance. Will definitely dine there again.

    We had to make a reservation well in advance to join happy hour. We chose the 9-course happy hour special for two people. My husband was really hungry, and we were disappointed by how small the portions were for what they charged. The food was excellent, and this was a great way to sample their menu for the first time. Be prepared for a $300.00+ check, though, as it is expensive for what you get, but the service was outstanding.

    All the hype about the best happy hpur is wrong. If you stick with the seafood you might be ok, but the pork and beef skewers were mediocre at best. No real creativity. Not worth the happy hour price. Service was fine. Just dont go in hoping for fine food
