we went there in the evening without reservation and the staff was friendly enough to find us really nice sitting outside (on a hot day.) except a waitress the team was really polite and attentive. eating is a little expensive for a casual evening, but is definitely worth its buck. I would definitely recommend the surf and rasen bowl, but the menu is very good and has a great selection of great foods. I wanted to sushi first, but next time will try. the gloomy and cocktails are also very beautiful! will be back soon!
