The perfect trifecta... front of the house management, craft cocktail/bar management, and the heart of the house the chef. This restaurant is a well oiled machine. I have dined here several times and enjoy taking people for their first experience. Clever koi never disappoints with their on point team service, amazing food and cocktails. My most recent experience the bar manager talked with my boyfriend for 15 minutes discussing Japanese whiskey while providing me one amazing gin drink after another. The food was outstanding as usual. We tried four different courses. If you truly enjoy a full dinning experience this the place. Try the seasonal ramen.
