We had a fantastic meal at Maru Bistro. The menu has been recently updated to reflect less emphasis on nigiri sushi and maki rolls. Don’t let this influence your decision to dine at Maru, the menu is still full of unique and deliciously tasty items. The service is thoughtful and the atmosphere is very calm.

It was a cute place. We ordered miso soup and they came back 10 minutes later saying they were out, and there was another item that we had ordered where they came back a separate time again to say they had run out. no complimentary replacement was offered. Food was meh, plain tasting. Good atmosphere though.
