    O-Ku blew us away for my wife’s birthday. They already came highly recommended by several friends.I casually listed that as the reason for my reservation and for the 1st time with any restaurant, they called me the day before to learn more about her to provide a more personalized experienced. Little did I know, this turned into them providing an entire gift bag Full of goodies and a card signed by the whole staff. They also gave her a complimentary cocktail (her favorite) 2 extra apps and even an extra dessert. However, I have to say the biggest factor of our positive experience was the staff. Each bartender on the rooftop prior to our reservation was eager to please with their recommendations and delivery. The serving staff was very organized and team based. Our main server had so many great recommendations and we took him up on most of them. He made observations on what peaked our interest and those are what he provided as extra apps and the dessert! We will be back with friends, family and future date nights outside of such special occasions. Keep in mind that the food itself even exceeded the above! Worth every penny

    We waited over 60 min. & 2 cocktails in just to get 2 bites of food. Finally then, more small plates started to arrive. Each tiny expensive bite was delicious but we left tired & still hungry.

    Dus and Chef Nick were awesome. We had the 8 course omikase (hope I spelled that right). I’m going to dream about most of those courses!

    Wonderful experience with incredible taste of a Bistro Japanese flare.... Having lived in Japan for 3 yrs, it was an American twist on Japanese cuisine.

    The food is always the star of this restaurant! The service was very slow. It took an hour to receive our order. The waiter and manager were very kind and explained that the rooftop dining was full. It was a beautiful day so I can understand!

    Food and service are fantastic - would be more enjoyable if the background music was atmospheric versus loud.

    Our server (Marvin) was excellent and the food was delicious. We ordered many different dishes to share and had a hard time deciding which was our favorite. I would highly recommend this restaurant and a request for Marvin
