Came about half hr into opening and got outside seating right away. Was tucked in the corner at a nice table in the dog friendly covered seating area, situated by a heating lamp. Well spaced out seating and friendly waitstaff. Ordering was prompt and so were the dishes. It was certainly an interesting choice to have straight up western music at a Japanese type eatery, but go with the flow, it didn't bother me any, lol. The food was delicious, we def got full! Overall a good experience. A great option for vegetarians and they have a good number of gluten free dishes too (best friend has celiac).
