"Our group of four couples dined here for third time in the last six weeks. This time, all of us decided to try the $56 sampling menu, which consists of nine courses, including dessert. It was excellent and filling, in a good way. We sat on the patio, which doesn't have a two hour time limit as the interior tables do, and has a retractable roof and patio heaters on either side of our table, to protect us from the possible rain and cold. The Japanese Izakaya (appetizers) menu is large and diverse, and all the featured items are delicious. So is the drink menu, including Mega-sized 24oz beers. On Saturdays and Sundays, Happy Hour is in effect from 230 to 530, on most appys and some featured drinks, which means $1 to $2 off on these items. Their regular whiskey prices are the lowest in town, including double Crown Royals for only $9.50 each and double Jameson's for only $12.50. Their wine list is a bit limited, but not a deal breaker. I highly recommend this restaurant/bar for any occasion (girls/guys night out, couples, or special occasions). You won't be disappointed."
