I really wanted to like it.....again. Their Happy Hour menu is reasonable. The staff is wonderful. The food is still marginal at best. Very disappointed.UpvoteDownvote

Contra_BidaSeptember 15, 2012Do yourselves a favor and skip this place. Service is spotty, and the food is mediocre at best. For some real izakaya, head to J-town.UpvoteDownvote
