    Our Christmas Eve dinner was perfect. The food was A+, the ambiance was festive (great playlist!) and our service was impeccable. Anna our server was the perfect combination of engaging and giving us our privacy. She very much made our night more memorable with her kindness, humor and relatability. The steaks were fabulous! We have been to Joe’s, Fioretta, and Bavette’s recently. This was our first time at RPM Streak and I would say that they are the superior choice.

    What a fantastic dinner! I highly recommend. All my fiancée wanted for his birthday was an omakase dinner so I took him here. It was incredible! They even wrote his name on their special board and did a birthday candle for dessert. I’ve barely tried sushi and don’t usually like fish but I decided to be adventurous and it sure was worth it! The food is truly so so good! Go to AJI, it’s worth it!

    Staff and chef was super attentive! Chef walked us through bite by bite, the flavors went really well together, and the experience didn't feel rushed. Thanks for making my best friend's birthday so special!
