    Our waiter Terrod was very attentive! He heard my husband mention us being married for almost 25 years when he was blessing the food and Terrod added that special message to our dessert. I just thought that was so thoughtful! Now the managers or host not sure who he was, was terrible! Both walked right past us and stopped to ask how the people in back of us were enjoying their food. The guy manager never said a word to us and we were in the very first table. He just seemed off.

    Food and service were outstanding. Everything was cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that our entire party had to use our phone flashlights to read the menu it was so dark in the restaurant .. I am all for ambiance but that's dark!

    Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!

    We had four different dishes (two steaks and two types of fish. ALL were delicious. I really don’t think you could find anything that wasn’t outstanding. The one thing I would change is the noise level. They might refer to it as energetic, I thought it was a little too loud. Made it necessary to speak louder and it seemed like a competition. No a huge problem but not a quiet romantic dinner. A matter of taste. Great experience.
