    We enjoyed dinner at Osaka Trading Co. Our server was lovely and particularly helpful in determining a meal for my u10 son, as they do not offer a children’s menu. We will certainly return.

    Had an absolutely exceptional, fabulous, gorgeous time with my friends here today. Dining in the cellar room felt like we had gone back in time. A nice feel of classy casual. The level of service was fantastic, with designated friendly waiters continually checking in and keeping us hydrated. The starter/share plates and cocktails were so tasty. Fuss free, and quaint. I look forward to going back.
