    What a perfect date night! From the moment you arrive downstairs to take the elevator the expectation is set of a magical evening. The entrance to the host stand is like walking through the wardrobe into Narnia. The inside doesn’t disappoint with vibrant colors, layers of different types of seating and wrapped in delightful decor and details. Our server was funny, helpful and always on point! She made the evening even more fun. We started with drinks and appetizers of Rich Girl martini, YUM, and the special drink of the night which was also superb. We had the octopus app which I normally don’t love but the way this was prepared it wasn’t chewy and was delicious with the kimchi. I am in love with the Burrata salad! My husband had the Chinese salad and enjoyed every bite. We both decided on the Poke bowl for a healthy meal and the flavors and combination of Ingredients was so good. We ended the evening on their open air patio with heaters and fire pits for an incredible meringue dessert and after dinner drinks. We felt pampered, relaxed and hated to end the evening it was that good! Tip: go for a sunset dinner because it is gorgeous from their perch above the city!

    I wish I could specifically review each item that we ordered but I can’t. I had my son order based on his previous experience. What I can say is that every single item was excellent. Sierra, our server was exceptional and I will request her on my next visit. Some will say it’s a little pricey. That is obviously relative and subjective. For my money and experience I’m just looking forward to my next visit to O-Ku. Excellent
