    We were late after the theatre but were treated with courtesy and the usual excellent service. We’ve eaten at Juzushi many times and have found the food always delicious and beautifully presented. New dishes are frequently included in the menu. The service is unobtrusive, polite and efficient. It’s good value ( we usually spend $60 for food, a glass of wine and tip). The only drawback is that conversation can be difficult because of the high noise level. We appreciate the great live jazz but find that it doesn’t always combine well with a full house. It is possible to go to the back room but there you miss the energy and vibe of the jazz and crowd. All in all, it’s a fave.
