The restaurant offers a mixed experience with some customers praising the food quality while others are disappointed by the lackluster flavors. The prices have seen a significant increase in a short period of time, leading to mixed emotions among long-time patrons. The atmosphere is praised for its cozy and candlelit environment, but parking can be a challenge. Some customers appreciate the variety of sake options and unique dishes while others find the service to be lacking. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential but needs to address issues with pricing, food quality, and service before earning consistent praise from customers.
