Dinner for 4 was great. The food and beer were delicious and delivered quickly. The waiter was friendly and attentive. It was a busy Friday evening so the noise was pretty aggressive at times but generally acceptable. It was our first time there and we’ll definitely return.

We chose Hikari Sushi & Omakase to celebrate a special occasion. It was very much the experience we desired. Each bite was a different adventure and many of them will be remembered for years to come. The staff was wonderful, kind, and helpful. We enjoyed watching each course come together right in front of us and learning a good deal about where our food come from and what it was. We highly recommend this unforgettable experience!

The ladies and the new professional cook go above and beyond to provide a lovely Afternoon Tea experience for my daughters and me. We have been to the Sotherton Tea Room three times this year, and every time we have enjoyed the food, the tea flavors, the staff, and the entire afternoon in general. We absolutely enjoyed the Kentucky Derby event in May when we wore out Kentucky Derby hats and definitely look forward to participating in it again next year.

We celebrated my parents wedding anniversary. They made my parents feel very special with a complementary champagne toast and lots of attention. They even had our menus printed with a happy anniversary on the header. The whole experience was awesome.
