Vibe: Apt for dates with some noise

While the ambiance swings between inviting and overcrowded, Kabuki proves an alright spot for date nights if you're not bothered by a bit of noise and the constant buzz. The drinks list, with innovative cocktails and an impressive collection of wine, draws much applause, reducing some of the sting from slower service at peak times.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive selection, innovative and strong cocktails, delightful wine list.

  • Okay For Dates

    Overall nice, but service speed and seating proximity might dampen dates.

Perks: Excessive noise mars convenient parking

Parking at Kabuki is a breeze, but once inside, the noise levels could leave you aghast. Making reservations can prove a task and when you finally land a spot, you might feel lost in the crowd and noise. The outdoor seating, while equipped with heaters, suffers from the cacophony of loud chairs shuffled around.

  • Great For Diets

    Offers extensive vegetarian and gluten-free options, accommodating dietary needs.

  • Okay For Kids

    Good for families with some kid-friendly options but has limited vegetarian kids meals.

  • Bad Service

    Frequent mentions of slow, unprofessional service; long waits criticized.
