"The food was good, but the portion was a bit small. The way the staff treated my friend and me was unacceptable. We arrived at 5:30 and were told the restaurant was fully booked after 7:00. This was rude and I have never experienced such strict time limits at a restaurant before. My thoughts: - It would be better to communicate this policy on the reservation page. - American restaurants usually handle customers arriving late or leaving early without issue. - All customers should be treated equally, regardless of their status as regulars. The staff could have handled the situation better by not making us feel rushed and by seating us away from the noisy regular customers. Overall, the staff's behavior was disappointing."

Cuisine was exquisite. The kitchen seems to be too busy, and too much intervals for the next dish. Timing to be served next dishes is also very important to enjoy the flow of the dinner.

It’s been two years since I last dined at Kokage due to the pandemic—and could not have been more pleased, truly. The food was as tasty, fresh and authentic as ever. Please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a meal—you won’t be disappointed. View menu

The food at this restaurant is delicious, and it's a perfect spot if you're seeking a peaceful, roomy place to enjoy a meal with loved ones or some quiet time alone. The waiter suggested a special off-menu dish that was fantastic. It's sad to hear that the restaurant will be closing down after September 2022, so make sure to visit and savor the experience while you still can.

Food was good and the presentation was nice. However, the restaurant asked for proof of vaccination at the entrance and both my companion and I were taken by surprise, as very few restaurants require it these days. We were not informed that the restaurant required this information in advance, so we almost were not allowed in. The restaurant needs to better communicate with customers in advance if they require a proof of vaccination.

"We went to Bread N Wine on a early Saturday afternoon for brunch. We were greeted and seated by the servers who were attentive. The food was okay the bread was really soft and fresh. My partner got the French Lentil Soup, Spinach and Tomato Egg Bake andI got the French onion soup, egg omelette with spicy tomato avocado and onions. I wasn 't happy with my omelette because thespicy just meant it was covered in hot sauce within. For beverages, we got chai lattes (we later found out it wasn 't tea basedbut rather coffee) and we had the option of oat milk, almond milk or regular milk. In terms of our overall experience we feltby the end too many things were steering the experience south; the worst was when we were accused of using counterfeit money topay for the tip. There was no special marker used to prove that the money was counterfeit or technology to back up this claim.That experience alone left a bad taste in our mouth as we left embarrassed by that claim, kind of shook from that, we stilladded the tip to our credit card 18%. As we walked out and talked about how weird that was, the owner of the business nextdoor overheard us and asked to see the $20 bill he showed us that our money was real and validated what we knew, that themoney wasn 't counterfeit. When we went back into Bread N Wine to discuss this there was no apology, just well, it felt thatway , shrug. It left a terrible feeling. We would not go back after that, this is not how you treat customers from start tofinish, hence the 2 star review."
