We came in last week on a Wednesday night and it was our first time here. After reading all the positive reviews, I figured this would be a great place to bring my family who was visiting for the holidays. Although most of the food was good, unfortunately the service was horrible. The female server gave us attitude for not having a reservation when we got there. Granted we were a party of 8 but it didn't take too long for them to seat us. She was abrupt and rude, kept leaving while taking our order to seat other diners and barely checked on us throughout dinner. The only saving grace was the male server who was definitely a LOT nicer and more helpful. The worst part was gratuity was automatic because of the party size which would have been fine except she didn't deserve it. In the end, I felt bad for recommending this place to my family. Such a shame since this reflects poorly on Chef Takashi's reputation.
