This is a go to. Love this place
Present Tense has some of the best vibes on the block. Food was amazing, food was incredible… AND THE SERVICE was out of this world. David, Mikey, and Taylor went out of their way to make our experience incredible. David made us custom cocktails based on our preferences and he hit every mark. I will be visiting present tense on a weekly basis at this point based on the service alone (the great food and cocktails are just an added benefit).
Amazing night !! Drinks were incredible , and David made our night so fun. Best service ever!!!!

Present Tense is a restaurant that offers a delightful fusion of Japanese-inspired flavors and an inviting atmosphere. Although located in a hotel lobby, the place feels cozy and welcoming. The food is praised as delicious, with highlights like the tuna over bread, Karaage Fried Chicken, and Japanese-inspired dishes such as Squid Ink Pasta and Chicken Thigh Yakitori. Guests have enjoyed a refreshing take on the Wagyu burger and duck foie. The cocktails and seafood menu are standout features, with drinks like Orchid Mist and Habanero Gold, and the Miyazaki Wagyu being highly recommended. The service is fantastic, with staff being extremely kind and attentive, making guests feel at home. One server, who knows a lot about sake, stands out for her great service. The overall vibe is serene and complements the culinary experience, making it a memorable dining spot. Those with food allergies find the staff accommodating and knowledgeable. While the selection may be limited for picky eaters, those who enjoy Japanese fusion cuisine and creative cocktails will find Present Tense to be an unforgettable destination. Some guests have noted that the portions are slightly smaller than expected, but they appreciate the unique and creative food options, like crispy tofu and koji chicken. Present Tense is a great place for date nights or time with friends, and there is curiosity about their upcoming move to a different location.
