Have been going to the restaurant since the early 1990's. Have always gotten the same meal. Baked…read moreclams, 1/2 order of linguini with lobster sauce, shrimp stuffed with crab meat and chocolate mousse pie for dessert. Last few times they were not able to accomodate the linguini with lobster sauce because it is now a special item on certain days. Went last Saturday for our anniversary and a few more things have changed since the last time. The long time waiters Jerry and Giancarlo are no longer there. We had an Indian waiter with a heavy accent that was hard to understand. No specials were offered and the vibe was different. I think I expect an Italian waiter at an Italian restaurant the same as I expect a Chinese waiter at a Chinese restaurant. I was told the linguini with lobster was not available but I could order a lobster and have sauce on top. I settled on the veal chop and it had no garnish or sauce on it. And the third issue was they no longer had chocolate mousse pie but they had a chocolate mousse cake. Totally different from my go to. We decided to share Italian cheese cake and it was dissapointing. Was not traditional Italian ricotta cheesecake. Was made of cream cheese and was on the dry side. Over all the food was ok, the dessert wasn't, the service was attentive but the vibe was off. End result is after 30 years of eating here a few times a year I think this will be our last time.

It was a fun experience for my son but my daughter has celiac disease and the only thing she could eat was ice cream. This is a common problem for her since wheat is in a ton of food. Since she is not used to this ice cream style, she didn't like it, but that's not on the vendor. My son enjoyed his ramen bowl. He said the sushi was in between a Japanese restaurant and store prepackaged and it was edible it just didnt knock his socks off. Overall a nice experience.

There are also few sitdown restaurants and Japanese market. Upper floor has few shops which are cool - especially manga, as well as, small arcade, tea ceremony and origami. It's a fun way to kill few hours or immerse oneself in Japanese culture. Food is good and fresh. Prices are a bit on the high side and it can get crowded - so may be tough to find a table during lunch rush or when rainy and outdoor tables unavailable. Overall highly recommend for anyone who loves Japanese food or culture. Kids who enjoy anime, manga, or just silliness of Japanese variety stores will have a blast

We came here after a World Cup match between England and Norway. Of course, England won, and we were festive. We were slightly late to our reservation without any problem.

We started with fried calamari and shrimp with marinara sauce and a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. For the main entree, I selected traditional lasagna verde with three meat Ragù and Bechamel, while my partner chose homemade fettuccine al Ragù with pork and beef. We had a wonderful dinner here. The food was all delicious and came in timely fashion. We will definitely come back here to try the other dishes on their menu.

The restaurant itself has a modern, chic décor with a lively but moderate noise level. It strikes a great balance between energetic and intimate, making it an excellent spot for a romantic date night if that's what you're looking for. Our server, Sam, absolutely made the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, answered all of our questions with confidence, and did an amazing job matching our preferences with the perfect food and drink recommendations. Her service was exceptional from beginning to end. We started with the pita and hummus, and you could immediately tell everything was made from scratch. The pita was warm and fresh, the hummus was incredibly smooth and flavorful, and you could truly see and taste the quality. For dinner, we had the burger with the house chips. Both were excellent, and I especially loved the herb mayonnaise that came with the chips. I didn't even realize it was mayonnaise at first because it was so fresh and flavorful! We also shared the Caesar salad, which was delicious. The next morning, we came back for breakfast and ordered the Jerusalem bagel with egg and cheese. It was absolutely decadent and the perfect way to start the day. Between the outstanding food, beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service, this restaurant exceeded every expectation. A huge shoutout to Sam for making our visit so memorable. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in the area to explore more of the menu and, hopefully, have Sam as our server again!
