The food was good enough, but I can't remember the last time I did so much waiting. The only reason I'm giving three, instead of two, stars is because my ratings are based largely on food. \n\nDespite having reservations and arriving on time, it was a good 20 minutes or so before we were seated. After being seated, the drinks came soon enough, and there was little delay in ordering, but then there was no food for a good half hour after ordering. By the time we'd been seated about an hour, maybe two of our small plates had arrived. As you can imagine, we devoured them promptly.\n\nThese are small plates, mind you. Some tofu, some yakitori. Not the kind of food that should take very long to prepare. It took us about 2.5 hours to finish an incomplete meal - even though we weren't full, we didn't want to order more because we didn't want to wait another hour for the food.\n\nEven worse, the tea was lukewarm and slow to be refilled. We would maybe have been a little less annoyed if our teacups were regularly filled with piping hot tea.\n\nNeedless to say, we left unsatisfied. The only reason for the third star is because the food we did eat actually was good, and the menu offers unique items you can't get even at other izakaya restaurants. But I've had better.
