    To be honest, I think black Angus is better than Ruth Chris. My mistake was tender. I enjoyed my food. I did the campfire feast me and my husband enjoyed it. I like it better than Ruth Chris to be honest.

    Had a wonderful anniversary dinner at one of our go to places. Excellent service by David which started off with a glass of champagne on the house. Very classy gesture followed by relaxing dinner. The place was packed for a Monday night and suggest to make reservations. Won’t be disappointed

    What a charming spot in an offbeat area! We were greeted immediately, and though the menu and payment were through a QR code, we still received attention from our multiple employees, and the menus were still conveniently printed for reference. All our dishes were delicious and charmingly presented. I loved the balance of meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes. I'd love to return during the day and enjoy the patio.

    Haba Japan delivers a consistent experience. The chef was entertaining. The food was excellent. The chicken was very tender. We enjoyed watching the food being cooked before us. Tables sit 8 but we were seated in a manner that allowed us to converse with the people in our group. Lots of birthdays were being celebrated last night so it was loud. The birthday celebrant received a pineapple dessert. Plenty of parking in the strip center. Not a fancy place but the food and service se excellent. Good value.
