What a cute place! You wouldn't expect it to be that great with the outside looking more like a…read morehouse but the inside, including decor, staff, and food are all great! Our server was so sweet, I wish I remembered her name. She was very accommodating and kind to my baby. She was knowledgeable and did everything in a timely manner. I do wish she would've let me know my salad I asked for as an app could be included with my two sides though (at least that's what I thought.) All of the staff were very nice and I loved that there weren't people ready to clear our table. Such a nice touch! The inside was also super casual. Although casual, the food and dishes were fancy. I got chicken because I'm not a seafood lover and it did not disappoint, although a little dry. The sides were also fantastic and well-prepared. My baby even got a little prize at the end of our visit! Also want to add that there are two entrances/exits, we didn't know where we were going so we chose one the back one, they both go into the restaurant but the front is where the host stand is.

We tried them with all 3 sauces, honey mustard, ranch and bbq. I liked all of them! I don't eat seafood but my husband loves it! I had their chicken Alfredo which comes with salad and vegetable on the side, green beans. He ordered the tuna with baked potato. The Alfredo sauce has just the right amount of creaminess and not too heavy and the chicken was cooked really well, tender. Their service is always friendly and love the neighborhood feel.

And I was really struggling over the lobster bites and a special prosciutto burrata appetizer so guess what? She sent out a half order of the special on the house so we could try them both!!! The beef carpaccio was melt in your mouth and don't get me started on the fresh pasta. Everything was house made and DELICIOUS! And the filet was cooked perfectly, just like the al dente pasta. My husband's chicken parmigiana was yummy also. And the desserts were delicious. We will definitely be back!!! Best place we've eaten at in a long time. And the atmosphere was casual and inviting.

We started with the whipped feta, lobster bites, and the garlic bread. The whipped feta is an absolute must have. I will be dreaming about this until I have it again. They give you toasted ciabatta and cucumbers on the side to dip. Even with the cucumbers, this dip is absolutely amazing. Very refreshing. We went with the miso glazed Chilean Sea bass & the chicken parm. My husband really enjoyed his Sea bass and I absolutely loved my chicken Parmesan. It had the best spaghetti I've ever had in my entire life. The sauce had a tiny bit of heat that really added to the flavor. I loved my meal!

Decided on sushi for our Date Night and there is no place better than Tougen for us…read more We went later in the evening (around 8:30) as we were doing yard work and wanted to miss the crowd. It was good timing as there were only a couple tables filled. Took a while for us to arrive at a decision as Tougen has soooooo many great choices. We ordered Miso Soup as a starter - some of the best we've had. We also ordered some Specialty Rolls: All In; 381; and Crazy Dragon. All In - Shrimp tempura, tuna, salmon, spicy crab, mango, cream cheese, and avocado. Eel sauce, spicy mayo, crunch and fish roe. 381- Spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado, and crunch. Topped with a layer of tuna and avocado. Eel sauce, spicy mayo and crunch. Crazy Dragon - Spicy crab, cream cheese, and avocado. Topped with spicy tuna and jalapeño and seared. It took an inordinate amount of time for our food (30+ minutes), especially when there were only 2 other tables and 2 take out orders. Not like Tougen at all. The food was delicious as usual...

Both of these stars are for our server! We had an excellent server, I can't remember his name now,…read morebut I think it was Carter or something like that. He looked very young, but he was obviously old enough to bring drinks. The food was mediocre and that's being generous, the drinks were nothing special, and the value just wasn't there. This was my birthday dinner and to be honest we were trying to go somewhere else, but they weren't open on a Monday. We came to J Alexander's, again not my first choice but a steak is a steak, right? Wrong. My sister-in-law ordered steak medallions, and they literally look like hamburgers. They were thin, slightly overcooked, underseasoned, and the overall cut just did not look good. My husband got a ribeye and again the sear on it was poor. The steak had a grayish cast to it. Not exactly appetizing! I ended up ordering the ribs, they come with a plum barbecue sauce and it was a generous portion but again they were nothing special. I got it with a baked potato. That was a bit dry and a bit hard. I think I brought home about 75% of my meal. We did get a very good appetizer. It was a raw tuna mince served on a crispy rice croquette. I got a gin and tonic that was not even really drinkable. They served it in a giant glass, the size you would get a soft drink in and it was almost entirely tonic. Way to ruin a nice shot of Hendricks. My sister-in-law had an espresso martini, and I don't think they use real espresso- but I could be wrong. M all four of us had something different and none of us had a good meal. If you are charging $50 for a stake medallion supper, the medallions should not look like hockey puck hamburgers. The atmosphere is beautiful, we waited a bit to be seated despite calling ahead of being told we didn't need a reservation or to be put on a waitlist. The bartender was slow and obviously inexperienced, but again both of these stars are really for our server. I got a free piece of carrot cake because it was my birthday meal and that was not good either. It came out and it tasted like it was still half frozen. I don't think I'll be back here anytime soon. It put a damper on my birthday a bit.
