    Brian was great! Food was all perfect- we had filet mignon  lobster mac tater tots tiramisu cheesecake and sweet potato fries. Everything was very good. Sadly the beef Wellington is wrapped in prosciutto, which was a bit disappointing as we don’t eat pork- However its our fault for not checking!! Drinks were good and strong as well. Great view and the pianist coupled with the dim lighting made for a perfect romantic ambiance . Only complaint would be that they aren’t very strict with their dress-code- saw someone wearing lululemon leggings and sneakers which kind of threw me off. Feel like it cheapens the place. But overall very great experience .

    We had a really lovely experience! The service and vibe are exceptional! The staff, the view it was wonderful! Our crudo to start was flavorful and light. Our entrees of halibut and veal parmigiana were very good but not the highlights. Don’t miss the table side tiramisu!

    Kessaku is always a win for us. The service was particularly outstanding during our last visit. Alexis was truly a standout! Her recommendations hit every time on both drinks and food. She consistently checked in and had us laughing each time. Her high level of service enhanced the wonderful experience we have every time we visit Kessaku.

    Cute spot with amazing sandwiches and coffee. It's in the middle of downtown so just a little bit shady with the homeless around.
