    we had a great experience. We both had the Chefs tasting, and everything we had was great. Each tasing was expertly selected, and the execution was spot on. The service was equally awesome. our server took the time to thoroughly explain each dish, and she was there anytime we needed anything. We highly recommend The Venue, and we will definitely be back again.

    I est here regularly and really enjoy it. I expected it to be super crowded and a little less pleasant than usual for Valentine’s Day - I was pleasantly surprised; we were seated very quickly, the service was excellent, the food appeared very quickly and most importantly, I did not feel rushed. Much appreciated.

    Probably our best ever Valentine’s Day dining experience. Not overcrowded or rushed as other nice places have been on Feb 14, especially for a Friday night. Top of the line service from top to bottom. Interesting and delicious foods. Not cheap, but still feels like a good value for how great the experience was. 10/10 recommend.

    The host/hostess were not attractively speaking at all! Two girls did not have the stylish attitude, spoke or acted non-attractively. They were acting like grade school snooty but dorky girls. The server at the waiting bar for the Teppan ares was also not smooth and stylishly spoke. We felt like we were at the Hispanic non-english speakers' mid-end restaurant. So we said quietly "Were we really at the Mikado??" Also when we were taking a picture on the hallway, this waitress annoyingly shawted to us "EXCUSE ME!". Teppan chef was so fun and pro!!! Spoke well with a magical show.
