"This remains what I consider to be the best restaurant in Roanoke. I just have one bone to pick: I made my reservation well over a month ago, for two people. I was seated next to two other couples, both of which had a full (4 top) table, however mine was a lower 2 top. I asked if it could be changed and was told no. How do you get the good table? Moving on our server, whose name I don't recall, was the quintessential professional server. She has perfect timing, perfect helpfulness and knowledge, and of all the servers I've encountered in this town, would win the most valuable award. Having staff like this is a value high above rubies. She even suggested the perfect wine to accompany the shrimp. We started with the California roll, which was almost a meal in itself. The wasabi was an extra treat. I ordered duck, because it came with spinach, and it was hard to choose. It was so absolutely delicious the ginger seasonings were amazing. (I'm at a loss for words, honestly); perfectly cooked as ordered, and tender and juicy. My companion had the shrimp saute, and from her facial expressions I knew it was good! Even their coffee is great. A perfect Birthday evening."
