My husband and I have been to Mizuna three times and each time we have had a wonderful experience. Natalie treated me so well when we went to Mizuna the second time when I was feeling under the weather and all of the staff always does an amazing job. We went for the third time for our first wedding anniversary and everyone made our dinner an unforgettable experience. The food is outstanding, the staff is fantastic, and the atmosphere is beautiful. We will 100% be back in the near future. I wish I could give them a 10/5 stars.

LOVE this place for consistently excellent pre-show meals. The lamb chop and cod entrees were superb. Waitstaff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive ... especially Alex. The parking validation and complimentary dessert add great value to make this my go-to venue for pre-theater dining! The valet (James) is awesome, as well!
