Great experience, great food, great atmosphere! We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary and followed up the meal with a show downtown. The arugula and cheese appetizer was a great contrast of flavors and temperatures, the salad and pasta courses were delicious, and our sea bass and shrimp special was succulent and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and helped us make it to the show on time and the anniversary dessert was tasty!

We had a party of 7 for dinner at Yuzu on the night of the Christmas tree lighting downtown. It was packed. The nice folks at Yuzu had our table ready on time even on one of their busiest nights. Service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent, especially the shoyu tare ramen. Creative cocktails as well! Great experience, we will be back.
