    One of my favorite places. The fried spicy tuna is amazing. Would of loved to be able to use the traditional Japanese dinning room for our meal but were informed that is only available for dinner.

    Excellent pre fixe menu. The pork leg was tender, flavorful and moist. All the sides were delicious. We had an outstanding service staff person. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and the sake offerings.

    The pre-fixe Thanksgiving feast was amazing. Every morsel was so delicious! Our table sampled all the options and each one was as good as the others. Bravo Izanami! For taking just the right twists and turns for an evocative yet non-traditional holiday meal. I hope it happens again next year.
