    Fantastic flavors, well beyond savory and sweet. The last comparable meal we had was in Cape Town, South Africa.

    A wonderful experience! Went with my wife to Valentine’s Day. She was immediately charmed by the relaxed ambience and then blown away by the five-course meal. The ingredients and taste combinations were delicious. I don’t drink so they paired each course with perfect no-alcoholic drinks . My wife’s food was paired with very interesting alcoholic beverages which enhanced her courses. Staff was excellent: smart, down-to-earth and attentive. Highly Recommended!

    We attended a Valentine's Day special meal where the only remaining reservation was at 9pm. That's a bit late for seniors, and later staff graciously moved us from 9 to 5pm. So thankful and it set the tone for the entire evening. Food was delicious. David, our waiter, was great. Courses came and departed as if choreographed. This dinner was only our second time at Valentina's. This time was a real step up and a most pleasurable experience.

    Beautifully prepared and super fresh sushi. Great menu. Superb service. Nice sake tasting and premium sake small/large bottle choices. Indoor or outdoor seating options. Outdoor has heat lamps. Area of improvement: check in area by front door gets congested and crowded. We sat at the table by the front door and people waiting to be seated leaned up against our seating booth. Not fun dining with constant bumps. Overall: highly recommend!
