    Other than having to wait in a line to let them know we had arrived on for our reservation (an extremely stressful frustrating and negative customer experience ) once seated everything else was top shelf.

    Makoto is my favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious! The only thing I wish they could improve, is the noise level. When it gets crowded, it is pretty loud. I went there for my friend’s birthday and we both loved it and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!
