Vibe: Effective date night, worn-out vibe

Though the establishment no longer buzzes vibrantly as a popular spot, the intimate confines set a romantic backdrop, boosted by an excellent sake selection. Unfortunately, the worn-out decor and harsh lighting stand out like a sore thumb, marring the overall aura.

  • Great For Dates

    Intimate setting and personal attention create a memorable date night.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Harsh lighting, outdated decor, and cramped space negatively impact mood.

Perks: Comfortable service, lacks suitable space

Perks are a coin toss at this joint. Though commendable on their service, minutiae details such as a fussy parking spot, lack of privacy due to cramped tables and a ‘no-reservations’ policy dampen the overall dining experience. Larger parties and those with young children might find themselves ill-suited to the space.

  • Great Service

    Service was great, friendly, and quick, with many attentive staff.

  • Hard To Hear

    Small space leads to less privacy and overhearing conversations.
