My wife took me here for my birthday. Service was outstanding, best service I've had in champaign, and I think paying a little extra for the food is balanced by a great staff. They knew the menu well, every ingredient, knew the wine and beer, didn't come to the table too often or too seldom. Definitely a good dining experience! Atmosphere is really nice. I guess the price didn't bother me too much, since this is what we were used to paying for a nice sit-down japanese meal in California, when we lived there. Go eat here.
