“On June 16, 2021, my mom, husband, and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner at Izakaya Miyo after a long, stressful year. It's a prix fixe menu ($99 per person at the time). I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or just to treat yourself. Chef Louis Pauole is very warm and friendly and explains each dish to you. This is not just a meal, but it is a memorable experience for the senses. Every dish is both beautiful and delicious! Standing ovation!“

“My first time eating at Genki Sushi by myself. There was a 20% dine in promotion happening. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. Atmosphere was enjoyable, quiet enough where you could have a conversation with someone. I appreciated the menu since there were photos of each of the dishes-no guessing required. Ordered four dishes and enjoyed every one.“

“When my party and I w ere seated to have breakfast, I requested a window seating. I was happy to have a gorgeous view. There weren't a lot of people when I entered the restaurant. But we were seated next to other people that were having conversations that I wish we were not able to hear. Maybe next time, I will suggest to hostess to be seated away from people talking loudly. We did have a lovely waitress by the name of Crystal. She was very pleasant and very helpful in our experience during our breakfast. Please give her a special gift for her hard work in handling her customers ☺️??????“
