                    Reserved a table for 7 on a Wednesday night. Arrived at 6:45pm and it was empty. Over the next hour it filled up. Small operation, just the host/server and the chef. But it was exactly what we were looking for. Intimate, hole in the wall, good sake and drinks, and the small plates were A+ fantastic. Everything we tried was delicious. Especially liked the sashimi, fried smelt, mentaiko omelette, chicken nanban, and original fried chicken. Great if you want a chill atmosphere with elevated food.

                    My third time dining at the Izakaya and each visit has been exceptional. I brought my friend whose only experienced with japanese food are at very trendy high end spots. She was blown away by the quality at Izakaya and couldn’t believe how much better the sashimi was compared to Nobu/Sushi Noz/Masa etc., The food is extremely high quality, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Great selection of drinks. Service is always a 10/10- great hospitality, very attentive, never overbearing nor making you feel rushed. Ambiance is lovely, really a peaceful respite from a crazy friday night in the village. Prices are reasonable, restaurant and bathroom are very clean- open kitchen allows you to see into a clean kitchen as well. We LOVED our frozen sour lemon drinks (non alc) version- it was SO refreshing, perfect on a hor summer night.

                    Have been wanting to try this place for a while. There was only one waitress working in the entire restaurant, and that led to pretty subpar service. Food was excellent but I was shocked that four small dishes with no alcohol cost $130 for 2 people.

                    The food at Izakaya was delicious and very fresh. The service was friendly and attentive. I wish I could give them more stars since the food and service were so good but the ambiance was a turn off. If they spruced the restaurant up a bit it could be very special.

                    One of my favorite spots in the city! I would highly recommend coming here on a date or with a small group for some great sake and shared plates. Truly a hidden gem
