    I could not find one thing to complain about after going here last night - and it was not even a restaurant I would choose - my wife chose to eat here for her birthday! The ambiance was a blend of calming and refreshing; to the point I went a little off my beaten path when ordering my meal and drink. Typically a hard alcohol only person, we decided to split a bottle of red wine...perfect choice for my entree pairing. I went with the rotisserie chicken lathered in a pan gravy along with mashed potatoes and broccoli (ideal with the red wine). She wanted to come for sushi and ordered two rolls, both she said were amazing. To start off with we split an order of chorizo egg rolls and honestly they were the MVP for both of us - could have easily ate two orders with the bottle of red juice! Our server was amazing and although a bit pricey, for once, the price tag was worth it in Springfield. I will happily return in the future!!

    Sat on the patio and enjoyed the weather before it stormed. Our server, Ryan, was great even though we were an outside table. It started to rain and they moved us inside with no problem. The food was great. I would recommend the Cajun pasta and the Firecracker roll. The cheddar bacon potato cake that came with the Pao steak was very good also.

    Calm laid back atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Food was superb! Reasonable drink prices. I am looking forward to a return visit.

    Loved the goat cheese salad! Delicious. The Chardonnay is super. The sea bass was good and rich but overly salted.

    I tried this place with a friend. We had reviewed the menu online so we would have an idea of what…read moreto eat when we got there. The in house menu does not match the online menu, but we both enjoyed our sushi rolls. So you walk in and upon approaching you can't miss the beer garden. If it wasn't so windy that day it would have been a perfect dine outside situation. But because of the wind we got a booth inside. In the middle of the floor is bar height tables a chairs, booths along one side of the room. The booths are only on one side because the other side is a beer wall. That's right, I said a beer wall. A wall full of taps. You get a swipe card and it charges your swipe card by the ounce. I don't drink beer but my friend appeared to be really happy with the selection. Because she couldn't pick just one, she made herself a flight. That's right, you can make your own beer flight from the beer wall. So for you beer drinkers I imagine this west side establishment is a hidden gem. I'd definitely come here again, with spouses and adult children in tow. There was fun food, good drinks and some entertainment. And not just karaoke either. We played name that tune. There was a prize at the end but we didn't stay long enough to see the winner. Well, we also didn't play competitively enough to be the winner either. But we had a great time and for a fair price. So, let it be said...I give this place 2thumbs up and definitely give it my seal of approval.

    Came here on a Friday afternoon and basically had the place to ourselves. It was 90° out though, so…read moremaybe the heat was keeping people in. The food and drinks were good, not mouthwatering, but definitely enjoyable. Not to mention this place has a wall of taps that are self-pour! We had a couple of beers, cocktails, and sushi and were pleased with all! The staff was meh. A lot of waiting on our part, but we're overall kind when they did check in on us. I wouldn't write home about this place, but if you're looking for a cool place nearby with good beer and good sushi, then it's your place! Outdoor patio is dog friendly which is a plus.
