Birthday dessert

The teppanyaki chef outdid himself with a wonderful sense of humor and his dishes were delicious. We will come here again.

Jalapeño Hamachi

Fresh high quality sushi! I only tried the Sushi bar. Not a big fan of the fried calamari! Service was prompt and the bartender was very attentive.

The Lavender Bliss Martinis are to die for. Japanese Mules are my boyfriend's favorite. The sushi is always fresh and made in a timely matter. This is the only sushi restaurant that we go to. Always pleased with our visits. We've sat in the bar & sushi dinning room. Both have excellent service.

By far the worst hibachi I've ever had. I had chicken & shrimp and all I could taste was oil and soy sauce. My husband said the same thing about his steak. The fried rice was mush. I've never been to a hibachi place where I couldn't even choke down the food. I would definitely not recommend this place unless oil & soy sauce is your thing.

Okay food, but they have cut down portions and increased their prices. Still fun to go on a date night.

Has anyone ever had the chilean sea bass? I've always wanted to try but never have... thanks!

We have had the Chilean Sea Bass several times. It is light and flaky with a hint of sweetness similar to crab. It is one of our favorite dishes at Nakashima.

I was introduced to this place 6 years ago. I was starting a new job and was here with a peer from…read moreCalifornia(I am from Florida). We were told this was the best sushi the person who reffered us had ever eaten. Challenge accepeted! We both agreed it was excellent sushi and I have been back every time I have been in Appleton since, except when they were closed due to Covid. This time I was there with a different co worker. We decided to order Tuna Tartare and 3 rolls. We had the popper roll, dragon roll and another that I cannot remember the name of. Each was different but equally good. We also had a salad, your typical japanese salad with ginger dressing. The dressing was better than most. The rolls are huge, I don't know how someone without a big mouth can eat a piece. 3 rolls and the tartare was more than enough for the 2 of us. I have to say that this is in fact the best sushi I have eaten throughout the U.S.

Over priced garbage. I just paid $22 for a roll of rice with a few slices of avocado and salmon…read moreslapped over the top. The menu read like there would be crab but no, for that price it included imitation crab. No wonder they can afford to stay in business and only be open four hours a day a few days a week because they're overcharging customers for next to nothing and then heating up drinks in a microwave. I will never come here again. I highly suggest nobody wasting their time and money on this establishment as it's been owned by the same people zero updates, zero anything just increased prices with low value food. I just got ripped off! For the same amount of money, I just spent I could've gotten a quality wonderful tasting meal at Katsuya or sushi lovers

If you look back over my reviews, there are not a ton of 5-star reviews. On my first, but not last,…read morevisit to Author's there was virtually nothing to complain about! We went to one of their limited dinner services. I had called the day before and reserved a table. When we were quickly seated at a table by the entrance, I admit being suspect of how our visit would go. The hostess asked if the table was alright and pointed out a heater by the table. Not only did it keep us warm, it made our table feel cozy. Despite it being very busy, I'd describe the restaurant as being a great place for a special date. Our waiter for the evening brought great energy. His timing was great and his knowledge of the food served was helpful. Without hesitation he suggested the Napolitana (which was phenomenal). He also made the restaurant less pretentious than I had assumed it would be and it definitely wasn't pretentious). We ordered the empanadas and beet salad as appetizers. Great picks and I'd return just to get the empanadas! As previously stated, I had the Napolitana. My dining partner has the quinoa bowl but added chicken to it. No complaints for either. We finished with two desserts suggested by our waiter. Although truly full from our meal, we polished off the tasty treats. I'm going back, just disappointed I've haven't visited it before now.

I visited this mainly breakfast and brunch place and figured they would be open all day since…read morethey're a full bar, but it turns out they only open late on wednsdays. They're located in an old building along the main street in downtown. For lunch, they seemed to have a short list of items...and not really catering to a red meat eater like me. I picked the chicken pesto sandwich since I normally eat chicken sandwiches for lunch and opted for the house potatoes. Our waitress was very loopy and loud add seemed overly happy about her job. My colleague thinks she was yelling at us whem she spoke, but I believe that is just how some people talk. My chicken sandwich was good...but the chicken breast seemed like a machine formed patty and it was small. I was expecting something a little fresher, like a whole grilled chicken breast for the price. Instead, this seemed like a pre-made patty from a vendor they just heated up in an oven. The house potatoes were simple and pretty good though. They add cheese and herbs and spices to these to amp them up. I can't really speak for the breakfast or cocktail program, but their music was pretty good.
