I am writing an update cause I had the opportunity of sitting on the porch of the restaurant the other night with a companion cause it was pouring down buckets. It happened to be First Friday. We had ridden the light rail downtown to the AZ Science Center and thought we'd walk around to see what, if anything, exciting was going on. The owner's, Nobuo, wife served us. I ordered wine and I don't remember what my companion ordered. Either a beer or wine. I didn't pay attention. I believe Nobuo's wife's name is Sarah. My companion mentioned to her that he had met the owner prior, whereupon Nobuo came out to say "hi," and we had a short chat. Both are such friendly and charming people. Very, very gracious and not the typical "full of himself" type of person that I've experienced with other restaurateurs around the valley who are world renowned.
