My wife and visited Akahana on a Friday night. When greeted at the door we were advised that the wait would be about 10 minutes. Not too bad for a Friday night during the dinner rush. We went to the bar to get a glass of wine. The service in the bar was a little slow and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. It wasn't that busy in the bar so this might be an area they should look into improving.
When we were seated we exchanged pleasantries with our server, Gina, we advised her that I have gluten sensitivities. Gina was AWESOME! She made suggestions and steered us clear of things that may be a problem for me. The surprise to me was when she brought a bottle of gluten free soy sauce to our table without even being asked to do so. Her suggestion of a wine selection was spot on too.
The Pho that we had was incredible and again Gina helped us in our selection because we have never tried it. The sushi was tasty and fresh, we chose something we have had tons of times before and it was very good.
The wine was a big pour and for the price it was an above average deal.
Our overall experiance was awesome and we would recommend you visit. Ask to sit in Gina's section if she is working and tell her you heard about it here.
The bar service was a little slow and the front door was slow to close causing cold air to rush in and flow over our table. But those are things that can be worked on. The food was great and the table service was outstanding and it was reasonably priced. A huge thank you to Gina and Akahana for a job extremely well done
