This place is popular! At 10:30 on a Saturday we waited 20 min to get it. However we luckily scored the best seats in the pace and really enjoyed out drinks, gin & ginger, something gin and minty, the house malt whiskey you see hanging from the ceiling (regulars buy a bottle and they write your name on it and keep there for you) and a shocu, which was a very small portion but service was great, ambiance is fantastic for a date or intimate night with the smaller the group the better. Hang your coat on the wall, find a seat, start a tab, and for god sakes don't be too loud.
