- ASAndrew ShellyAug 26, 20265.0Heidi was a fantastic waitress. She was able to have the chef get some custom rolls cranked out and was great with service. We’ll be back.
- JRJolinda RossAug 23, 20265.0We were visiting from out of state and had Isaac as our server. The food was amazing but our service was some of the best we have ever had. Thank you Isaac for the great service, and chit chat about Nashville!
- PWPayton WagnerAug 20, 20265.0Went here for my husband birthday it was a vibe, really enjoyed the food! I feel like portions were on the smaller side so we ended up ordering a bit.
- MMMDAug 15, 20262.0The service was very poor, and there didn’t seem to be enough staff, which caused delays and affected the overall experience. The restaurant was also very hot because the air conditioning wasn’t working properly, and there were a lot of flies inside. The prices don’t match the level of service provided. Although the food was good, it was difficult to enjoy it because of the poor conditions. Don’t come with high expectations.
- JMJ. MedeirosAug 8, 20263.0Good food, but not worth the price. This cousin of Indaco misses. Set in an open, modern Japanese setting with both a full bar and sushi bar, the Nigiri Flight is good, not exceptional and the pieces are on the smaller side. The Tokyo Chicken Donburi is tender and tasty, one of the few dishes here without spicy flavors. There is a short but diverse wine list. Service at the bar was poor; the bartender was overrun. The only nearby parking is paid and cost about $35 for 1.5 hours.
