We have visited this establishment for the past two years before Bengals game. The service has continued to decline. Espresso martini continues to be less and less each game. It started as a full Dora cup to a 1/4 Dora cup. Service was terrible!

Food was excellent, and it always has been. Waitstaff and host were great. The only issue we have is the music is turned up too loud. We shouldn’t have to shout at each other or shout our order to the waitress. The music was so loud it was distorted. Turn down the music so your staff doesn’t go deaf.

Great good and ambiance. Restaurant is a bit loud at times, could just be the vibe they're going for, but have to somewhat shout when talking. Sushi is top notch, bourbon list is solid, although could use a few more Japanese whiskeys to round out the list and theming. Been here 3 times, would come back.

Everything was great, as usual. The only thing was that she did not mention that 20% gratuity was already included. My husband tipped an additional 20%. Luckily my sister caught it and we were able to get the check back and revise. Heads up on that should be mandatory please! These are expensive bills so 40% tip is excessive!

Our dinner was excellent. We loved all the choices and especially the sticky ribs and Buddha bowl! Service was great. The music made it loud for talking but it was a fun, energetic atmosphere.

We made a reservation prior to a concert at GABP. We did not realize until a couple weeks before that it was also a Bengals preseason football game. But no worries, we had a reservation. We were promptly seated, HOWEVER, there was a DJ playing music so loud both inside and outside the restaurant that we had to YELL at each other while eating dinner. Not what we wanted AT ALL. Please play the music OUTSIDE - hype the crowd there. Let your inside diners have a meal and conversation. Please. Service was good and food was really good - esp the chorizo queso, the chicken fried rice, the wagyu burger.
