Izakaya Den

Our visit to Izakaya Den was overall good, but this is not the place to go if you have a gluten sensitivity (celiac). Because of my gluten sensitivity we were limited to maybe 1/4th of the menu if not less. They can try to accommodate by using tamari but only by request and only a very limited amount of things. That said, the food and drinks we were able to get we enjoyed very much. The service was good, and even though we felt we annoyed by asking about gluten-free options, they did inform us well. So all things said, we probably won't be back as we can't experience most of the menu.

We just finished our first visit, and we sat at the sushi bar. Damn, it was absolutely amazing! To start, the place is pretty cool and has a great atmosphere. The staff is friendly, attentive, and very helpful. The food... is absolutely great. We started with black miso cod, and it's something we'll definitely repeat. Then, we tried two rolls: tekka and negihama, and we were already very, very happy. The nigiri, though, were the stars: we tried toro, tuna tataki and saba. We loved it so much that we added another round of toro (tuna). The quality of fish is just absolutely outstanding. We were very happy with the drink options, I enjoyed the blackberry blush coctail. We finished with some delicious lychee sorbet and enjoyed extra fruit from the kitchen. Gluten free options are clearly marked, I was also given gluten free soy sauce. That doesn't happen often, it is greatly appreciated!
