I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try. We had such a great experience. Our waiter was very sweet and kind. Here is what we ordered. First we startered with the BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIB BAO BUNS. Comes with 2 and a mild dipping sauce that paired very well. We also tried the Rock Shrimp Tempura w/ Yuzu Chili Aioli which we also found really good. It Is a little spicy but not too bad. For our entrées my boyfriend had the Slow Cooked Pork Ribs which looked as tasted amazing. Very flavorful and not dry! I however chose two rolls. My first roll was called the Adachi Flame which from the name was a little smokey almost like a bonfire for my first bite but very flavorful. I did find however it tasted even better when you dipped in the soy sauce and had some Wasabi along with it. The second roll of the night was called the Unkai which I thought was the better out of the two in my opinion. Last but not least we just HAD to get a dessert. I always get Creme Brule if a place has it on the menu but I wanted to try something different and I am glad I did. We chose the cheesecake souffle. Best decision as it was amazing and adorable with the flaming candle sincd it was a birthday dinner afterall. Definitely will be returning to try other plates on their menu and our waiter did advise that their menu does change so there will always be something new!

I have been here a few times previously, with great experiences, but this recent time here was terrible, especially considering the price. I made a reservation for my birthday dinner, yet we had to wait over 45 minutes to be seated. I had asked for an indoor table, but we ended up sitting outside. Then, the service took forever. To order food, the food being brought to the table, the drinks, everything took forever. As it was my birthday, my friends had gotten a cake which I gave to the manager to put in the fridge. I was not informed there was a cake fee for this. Additionally, the cake being brought out was extremely late, and then it took even longer to get cut. We didn't leave the restaurant till midnight, much later than we intended to. We had originally planned to order multiple rounds of drinks, and there was no time for that either. The vibes were off, and the service was trash. No one bothered apologizing for anything that night, either. I wanted a great and memorable experience for my birthday. Sadly, the exact opposite happened. 220 or Zana are much better options for places to celebrate. They're worth the expensive price tag. UPDATE: I’ve been going back and forth with management for over a month now regarding a refund, and the communication has been all over the place. I’ve been passed between people, given no timeline, and at one point, one of the managers called me 15 times in the span of 3 hours. Still, nothing got resolved. It’s been dragged out way longer than it ever should’ve. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional, especially for a place that positions itself as upscale.

My family gave us this place's gift card so my husband and I had an opportunity to have lunch at Adachi. We had such a lovely time. We went there around 12pm at Monday and it wasn't busy. It started to be pretty busy around 1pm. This restaurant is located basically right in front of the parking structure which was free for 1 or 2 hours (?). So that was convenient too. We both had "Salmon avocado tenkasu roll (cut)" and "Yakitori" and for dessert we had apple crumble cheese cake. Every food was fantastic and authentic. For everything, it cost $78 including 20% tip. Not bad at all. Definitely recommend to those who want to have good Japanese style cuisine!

ADACHI was amazing! The best service. Excellent atmosphere and the FOOD, absolutely delicious!! Our waiter was very helpful, knowledgeable and great personality. The atmosphere was lively and the color palette and design of restaurant was beautiful. We had so much good food! Crispy chicken, Kobe burgers, truffle fries, truffle hamachi, grilled salmon, veggie roll, burrata salad, wagyu egg roll, pork ribs, beef ribs and the butter cake were all amazing!! Our drinks were al delicious! My expresso martini was perfection. Cannot wait to return.

Went here for a late lunch and it was an amazing experience! The restaurant is loaded with character and gives off a comfortable atmosphere. Sean did an amazing job explaining and creating the drinks. Plus, the sushi is creative and delicious. We will definitely stop by again for a visit soon, thank you!

This place is expensive. But what you’re getting is the best quality fish in this state. Not to mention the excellent service and unique menu. There is something for everyone here. Perfect place for a date night

We got the dynamite, juraku, toro-toro, braised beef bao buns, the highball! All very good! I wouldn't say anything blew my mind but it was very tasty and we enjoyed the atmosphere! We went on a Sunday evening, so it wasn't overly packed and our server was good and very attentive! I will definitely be back to try more on the menu!

This restaurant is located in a cute house type building. A bit old fashion on the outside and inside it opens up to an upscale dining and bar room with decent amount of seating availability. Service was great, our server knew plenty dishes of the menu, had drink recommendations and knowledge of its seafood regions... Food was delicious, very filling for its specialty rolls. A bit pricey for some food items like the salmon roll and other dishes (not bought or shown) but I'm sure to be just as presentable and tasty as can be.

This is a cool little place in Birmingham. The restaurant is in a house that has great ambiance and decor. It's upscale and not loud, perfect for small and large groups. The service was great! Staff and waiters were quick, friendly and attentive! They gave us great recommendations about dessert and mocktails! The food was delicious! Loved it and definitely will be back! The maki rolls were really good. We had a great time and highly recommend this to others!

Hands down best sushi in metro Detroit and that's coming from someone who's from the west coast and lived in Hawaii for 4 years. The fish is always fresh, service is phenomenal and the vibe is always on point. I've tried every sushi roll on the menu but my favorite would have to be the hamachi jalepeno, if you like something with a little kick this is a must try, the tuna is so buttery and soft, it just melts in your mouth. The juraku roll is another must if you like anything pickled. The combination of salmon and pickled jalepeno is to die for. Another must try is the crispy rice tuna, so flavorful. Their menu rotates every so often so if you happen to be there when they offer the lamb chops you must get those! My husband can't stop raving about them. Can't wait for our next visit!

I had heard great things about this place however when I went I felt a little let down. I would overall say 5 stars for service and 2 stars for food (hence the 3 stars). The environment is great, comfy seating, amazing wait staff. However the food was a big let down. The biggest upset was the truffle aioli sushi roll. The truffle was overtly powerful to a point where it made every other sushi roll taste awful. The whole restaurant only smelled of truffle which is nice when you come in but it was so over powering that when you also eat the truffle it is far too much. The other rolls while sound deliciously, were nothing special. Overall, I would only come back if someone wanted to come here instead of recommending to come here.

I ordered takeout from Adachi but it truly is a stunning restaurant and the staff are very friendly. I ordered the Eel Avocado Cut Roll, Juraku Roll, and Unkai Roll. The Eel avocado had a stunning piece of eel, nice and soft with eel sauce on the side as to not overdress the roll. The Unkai roll was also really delicious with a really beautiful sauce to accompany it. The fish all melted in your mouth and really was a harmony of flavors. My favorite was the Juraku roll as it was super refreshing with the soy like sauce and have a lovely spice from the jalapeño. It was topped with flakey salt too and that added a little crunch to the dish. Overall, Adachi is a great sushi spot in Birmingham, there are parking spots surrounding it and so many garages in the area. It is a little pricey so a great special occasion spot :)

Adachi checked all the boxes for an amazing night out--great cocktails, gorgeous and unique space, delicious food, attentive service, and plenty of outdoor seating -- the weather couldn't be more perfect. Our food was better than I expected. Was sad the octopus was out but we made some great choices to make up for it. Our favorite was the king salmon sashimi---it just melts in your mouth. Loved the ginger sauce it was served in, light and full of flavor. Loved our cocktails: White Rabbit and Copper Fedora. Would order again. Both were not too sweet (perfect if you're like me and don't like sweet drinks) they were great twists on some classic flavors. Hope to be back again!

Excellent upscale dining Japanese fusion style. I met a girlfriend for Happy Hour. The Happy Hour menu is small but excellent with short hours 3-5pm. Their specialty highball whiskey drink is on Happy Hour too. I loved the super fizzy drink, with little to no sugar and a lemon peel. It was refreshing. Our server was very nice and personable. He had great recommendations from drinks to food. The dining room is modern and sparse but clean. This is the only note I have for this restaurant - the chairs suck. It's those metal chairs that have arms that cut into your hips if you're above a certain size. Yeah. Idk why restaurants decide to get these chairs when clearly they haven't sat in them or considered the plethora of sizes that would be using them. The kani crab salad was my favorite. It s a large bowl of lettuce with crab, spicy dressing and topped with tempura crunch. The hamachi and jalapeño roll. It was spicy but very good. Lastly, I had to try the slow cooked beef ribs. They had a great flavor but I was missing something. The fat in the rib meat maybe. Still very good. I look forward to going back.

Make reservations ahead of time because seats get filled out fast - fortunately for us, it was a pleasantly mild evening and their large outdoor patio proved a much quieter and serene setting. Measured against the required dollars, there was enough consistent inconsistency to warrant no more than three-stars. Let me explain.... German Riesling - served in a stemless plastic cup that was so filthy I thought it was decorative for a second. Serving wine in a goblet that horrendous spoke volumes about their cleaning/QC process and complete lack of attention to detail. Unacceptable for a restaurant trying to position itself in a high end category. And plastic? Ugh.... Seaweed salad - crunchy, tart and generally delicious but portioned small. Shiro Miso Soup - now this was served in a relatively large and wide bowl, I'd say at least twice the volume of your typical miso soup bowl. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Zenko Special Role Yuzu truffle hamachi - amazingly tender, fresh blend of flavors with truffle aromas wafting strongly about. With such deep flavors, you really don't need soy or wasabi to interfere here. Order and savor. Hamachi Jalapeño Cut Role Straightforward good eats - not as unique, but high quality. Nice presentation too. Signature Kobe Slider with Fries Standard slider size - very rich patty oozing with meat juices and cheese. Drier on the palate, so together with the puffy buns, probably a good idea to have something close to wash it down. The accompanying fries are a crispy marvel and really sort of outshined the burger. Yuzu Miso Marinated Black Cod Medium tender and presented with an electrifying my tart yuzu miso sauce. Taste before smothering the fish - please. Altogether above average cuisine that shouldn't be charging such high prices - particularly for Birmingham (a more upscale part of Detroit). Too many missing items - a wine selection, out of hamachi nigiri, out of cherry tart ice cream. Maybe for a drive thru - but not for high end dining. That's all...

We had a great experience. The food was incredible. Very unique and creative plates. I thought it was a fun tasting experience. We had an issue with a gift card being redeemed. Something with the system. But they were incredibly gracious and even brought over free desserts to help make up for the error. The dessert, the butter cake, was exceptional. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable in the menu. He helped us every step of the way, pairing together different rolls so we had a good tasting. He knew every single roll and was very happy to help. We felt very cared for and appreciated. And the sushi was so good! I've never left a sushi place so full!

The food was really yummy and they have a varied, interesting menu with enticing weekly rotating specials. You could bring folks here with different food restrictions and preferences and I think everyone would be happy with the choices available, even if you didn't order sushi at all. This menu was especially friendly for our non-dairy friend. I love the historic building Adachi is in; it's in a good location, though parking can be a little bit annoying - plan for a 5 minute walk. There is a structure nearby. We visited on a chilly Spring night, but I'd for sure come back for the patio once it's open. Every table was taken on a Saturday night, and we spent 2 hours having dinner and cocktails - nice ambiance. The music turns a bit "clubby" around 8pm. Standouts on the menu were the crispy chicken, (order with a side of rice to make it an entree) shishito peppers, and both rolls we had were excellent. I forget which ones we ordered, but one of them had raw scallop and it was seriously amazing. Fresh and very flavorful sushi and sauces. We also had the crispy rice tuna app, which was good, but not great, and I had the duck salad, which had this great dressing and fresh citrus. Their cocktails were also perfectly balanced and strong. The only reason for 1 less star was the fact that we felt a little rushed by the server - he seemed to get a little impatient with us because we had some questions and maybe weren't decisive enough. I get it - it was a very busy Saturday night. Still, no complaints on the service, really. Everyone was working hard, that's for sure. I look forward to returning - maybe on a weekday when it's less packed.

This place was recommended by locals and it was within walking distance of my hotel so decided to give it a try. This restaurant looks like a Victorian House and it's such a vibe inside and out. This is a great place for dinner and drinks. My coworker and I shared the following items: Truffle Edamame Hiroo Roll California Roll Butter Cake Everything was fresh and delicious! Best edamame I've ever had. The butter cake was warm and so so good. Overall great experience and would definitely come back if in the area again.

Adachi has been on my list of places to visit for some time now so I was glad I finally got a chance to visit. There were lots of options to choose from so it took me some time to make a decision. My eating companion is vegan so he opted for the veggie fried rice and added extra veggies on top. I ended up going with the beef fried rice. The portions were a nice size and the food itself tasted pretty good. The ambience was nice too. I wish booths were an option even for smaller parties because the tables were pretty close together. You can basically hear the conversation of your neighbors. Lastly, although my eating companion specified he was vegan before placing his order, they brought his order with egg in it and had to remake it. He noticed it before he actually ate it so that was good but I wish as a restaurant, they would've been more mindful of that.

Decor is beautiful. Ordered the handout and was offered the option of making it spicy so...of course I did!! Also ordered eel nigiri, lobster tacos and the crispy spicy tuna. This drink was amazing and the bartenders recommendation to make it spicy was spot on. The spice tempered the sweetness of the passionfruit, . This is the only place I know that has crispy rice and it is soooo damn good. Kind of pricey for two pieces but definitely worth it. The lobster tacos were so cute and small but the flavor was mighty. They are the perfect bite and were packed full of lobster. I was still a little Hungry so I ordered the zen maki roll, it was good but I wish the tempura shrimp were more crispy.

The ambiance in this place is very nice. definitely a higher-end restaurant. Would be cute for date night! The miso soup was too salty, however they gave a really big bowl & was filled with tofu & seaweed. The yakisoba was just drowning in sauce. But the flavor was overall very delicious. I forgot the name of the roll I got but it had scallops & truffle on it. by far my most favorite roll. It was absolutely delicious & i'd come back to Adachi just to get it! It melts in your mouth & is 100% worth the money!

Recently went here and had a very nice dinner with my partner. We ordered quite a bit and also got a couple freebies due to a wrong order being placed - which ended up being a happy mistake. We ate: "New style sushi" scallop dish Duck salad Ikura sashimi Uni sashimi Black cod Ribeye cap Glacier 51 sea bass Crème brûlée Sorbet And a few drinks Bill came to $385 after tax (before tip) Scallop dish is always one of our favorites. Both sashimi were out of this world good. I can't think of a restaurant in Michigan with better raw seafood. The duck salad is literally on of my most favorites dishes ever. The duck comes out piping hot and crispy! We ordered the sea bass, but accidentally received the black cod. But the black cod was bomb. Incredible well cooked, soft in the middle, slight browning on the edges. So they let us eat that while firing up the sea bass we ordered (happy mistake). The ribeye cap needs no explanation. It's the most flavorful part of the cow. Truffle was not overpowering in the steak. Amazing dish. The glacier 51 was the star of the show. Easily the best tasting Chilean sea bass I've ever had. Slightly thicker, more flavorful, and seasoned better than the already great black cod. Deserts were excellent. The texture of the sorbet is melt in your mouth. The fresh yuzu crème brûlée is perfectly balanced. Excited to return!

So elegant and fresh. Food was excellent, ambiance was chic, staff were friendly and attentive. This was a special occasion meal so a little more on the pricy side compared to a standard meal out for us. You could really splurge here, but we navigated to some of the more cost effective items. We went for a Sunday afternoon lunch with friends. Let me tell you that this was the best idea, we had the whole place to ourselves (a few other couples were there too). We could catch up with our parent friends and not have to yell across the table. (It was nice to have some quiet when your days have lots of chatty kids in them.) We had the wagyu spring rolls, cucumber-crab salad, Adachi flame roll, Unkai roll, Hamachi jalapeño roll, blue fin akami nigiri, nippon daisy and lemon basil warrior drinks. And dessert- yuzu lemon crème brûlée and warm butter cake. Needless to say everything was amazing, fresh, and flavorful. The drinks were spot on - fresh, decent portion, and full of flavor. The wagyu rolls were loved by everyone but me (I thought they were a little greasy). The cucumber-crab salad was a surprise - it had four salads in one - cucumber, crab, seaweed, and carrot. Was a hefty portion that I shared with the table. Great start to the meal. All the rolls and nigiri were excellent, flavorful and filling. Not much to say bad, but we went at a low volume time so not sure how it would be if it was crowded. Only gripe was it was right after a big snow and they had just opened so it was a bit chilly in the old house. The host was even wearing a down vest under his suit jacket, maybe put the heat on before you open. We had a reservation so they knew we were coming.

Coming from the West/Left Coast, impressing in sushi is a challenge for the Midwest. This was a "New Twins" Celebratory Dinner ordered when I came in town to help. Pouring rain, carry-out-they delivered! Good fish, good takeout presentation, even brought it to my car in the pouring rain. FIVE STARS.

Here's my honest take on Adachi: The miso soup was disappointing, lacking any depth of flavor, as if it came straight from a packet with the wakame and tofu thrown in as an afterthought. The pork ribs were equally underwhelming--completely devoid of seasoning despite being smothered in a puddle of 'sauce' and topped with green onions and what appeared to be togarashi. The trumpet mushrooms were undercooked to the point of being nearly inedible, prompting us to send them back and have them removed from the bill. The rolls were the one glimmer of hope on the menu, though even they offered only a faint hint of flavor, reminiscent of a LaCroix--you could almost taste it if you tried hard enough. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a true sushi experience or to anyone with a decent palate.

One of my weekly spots! Consistent and GREAT! My fav is the Warm Butter Cake and I'm not a sweet eater but I am when it comes to Adachi. I normally sit at the bar with Adam, who knows my favorite drink, the Japanese Spritzer. The staff is friendly and it's like the neighborhood place to be.

Arrived for dinner for our reservation today when the restaurant was completely empty. There was a bald manager with glasses sitting at the bar drunk. He began to tell us that one TV at the bar did not work and someone who hasn't worked at the restaurant since January had the code to the TV. As we sat down for our reservation, our clueless hostess said we had to be out of the table within an hour. An hour later and a $250 bill from two people later, we were less than impressed. Not sure if it was from the less than professional staff- ordering 14 Starbucks drinks mid service and passing out, the team on the ground cleaning the floor while serving guests, or the belligerent manager. This restaurant did not live up to the reviews.

Best sushi hands down! I didn't have high expectations but I was definitely impressed. The food and dessert were on point. Super nice waitress. My only complaint was the Gin they use for the drinks has a weird aftertaste so I switched to sake. Very cute date night, the ambiance is nice.

Where do I start?! Food, service, ambiance was all top notch! I do have to say our server was one of the best I've had. His suggestions for food and drink were spot on and we loved everything. I hate to say that we were so hungry and were with other people that I forgot to take pictures when the food came. We ended up doing a bunch of small plates and shared the following: Rock Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Tuna Roll, Wagyu Sliders, Spicy Edamame, Avocado Cucumber Rolls and I had to try the Dover sole which is my all time favorite. It was an entree but they served it in a way to make it easy to share going back to the food service. I have to say that was the one thing I was disappointed in the fish was a little blah. Finally the one picture I did take was the dessert which was amazing!! Our server recommended the warm butter cake and someone from our party wanted the biscoff cake so we got both. Server wasn't wrong about the Warm Butter Cake! It was amazing and we all wished we had gotten both of those for dessert. I can't wait to return just for that

Such attention to detail! Our server Megan was attentive, gave great recommendations, and laughed at my jokes. Win. The food was elevated, high quality and different combinations you won't find at the chains. We each had some speciality cocktails, which I rarely do, and I was so glad I tried them! Very nice dinner, had a great experience.

Came here for a two year anniversary and loved the experience. The food was outstanding, so many unique dishes that taste amazing. We will definitely be back as there's many things on the menu I still want to try. Drinks were great and lots of options. Vibes in here are great, even on a Tuesday night it felt like a lively but classy atmosphere. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly as well. One of my favorite dining experiences in the Detroit area so far

YUM. YES. This place is a must! I checked out Yelp for some recommendations before going and you guys never do me wrong so first, let me shoutout the spicy margarita and the rock shrimp appetizer. Both were excellent! We also tried the sliders per recommendation, and those were fantastic. The sushi, though! Unreal. We just followed our server's lead and tried a bunch of different rolls. I can't remember any names but I can remember that I loved every single one. I really doubt you can go wrong. Very fresh and flavorful. Desserts were phenomenal as well! This is a great spot for a birthday, fancy date night, or just celebrating life. We will be back!

Absolute favorite right now! I can't believe we waited this long to try this place. Definitely recommend making reservations, but we sat up at the bar. Great cocktails, and great food! Nice ambiance too! The bartenders were nice and service was wonderful... we ordered a little bit of everything, but too many to choose from... everything on the menu looked so good! However, everything we ordered was great! Look forward to going back!

Love! Had such a lovely night at this establishment. We don't live near Birmingham but we're too scared to go eat in Detroit with Taylor swift so we ventured out. So glad we did. What a vibe! We sat next to a water feature and a speaker playing chill house music. We loved it. The person who said the music was obnoxious must be lame because it made the evening. The food was great. Drinks were 10/10 and our server Justin was so knowledgeable and honest. We had a great meal and experience. Will be back!

I wish I could rate this place higher , I started coming here in 2019 since I was going to a clinic on Woodward and the food and service was top notch... since it has gone downhill my past 4 visits. The actual interior is lovely with a pretty mural above the sushi bar and they have unique cocktails. I enjoy the sushi rolls and the Yakitoroi and fried chicken. Lobster roll had too much seasoning. I am rating this place 2 stars since the service at the bar and a table is below par . Servers are not friendly and treat you as if you are inconveniencing them . I have had to flag down a bartender and server to order on my last 2 visits ( both around 5 when it was NOT busy). Bartender was too busy talking to other bartenders and perfecting their new drink menu, I waited 25 min to be offered a second beverage. I will take my business to Nara or Ronin.. too bad since its a lovely location with a patio.

I'm so frustrated with my experience here. I ordered the most basic sushi roll (cucumber avocado). For over an hour I didn't get my food. I asked my waiter to check on it. He said my order was up next. For another 20 minutes I didn't get my sushi. Finally he came and said that the order was up next but now he doesn't see my order ticket anymore. I ended up cancelling my order because I was so frustrated at that point. They didn't offer any compensation on the one item we got or try to make the situation better. I won't be coming back here.

Adachi is a good sushi option if you are in Birmingham. I really love the building and interior especially. Our sushi was good and we also ordered dessert, but I don't remember the name of it. Maybe some kind of lava cake? Anyway, it was delicious. Would definitely go again if in the area.

I absolutely love Adachi for its variety of dishes and its well "groomed" staff. Don't like sushi or sashimi? No worries, there's plenty of choices on the menu that are tastefully and artfully created to satisfy your palette. Adachi is a treat every time you go. Find a way to fit it into your dining budget.

Adachi is a chic Japanese inspired restaurant. It is inside of beautiful Victorian mansion in Downtown Birmingham. I've been a few times for a mid work week treat. I recommend getting a reservation, they're fairly easy to get but it seems that the restaurant prefers guests to have one. I've had the lobster tacos, edamame, miso, crispy rice tuna, rock shrimp tempura, crispy chicken, Sekushi maki roll, salmon, avocado + tenkasu hand roll, and others. The stand outs for me were the lobster tacos, rock shrimp tempura and the salmon hand roll. Although the lobster tacos are more of a small bite style, the lobster is fresh and the presentation is unique. The rock shrimp tempura is a perfectly crispy with a Yuzu chili aïoli to pair. Although the Yuzu lemon crème brûlée looked amazing, my sister and I ordered the molten chocolate cake one time and fell in love. Overall, I think Adachi is a stylish restaurant with incredible options.

That one star is for the nice employees and the service and the environment of this restaurant but the food is terrible!!!! We ordered the 24k lamb chops (barely any meat on the bone, mostly fat on it) just a rip off of an entree for sure! Another thing we ordered was the ribeye and it wasn't anything special and had an awful flavor to it. You would think the Chicken fried rice would be at least decent but maybe they were having a bad day bc there was some hard pieces in there and it was just nasty. The fries weren't bad but yet my daughter still didn't even like them. I would never eat here again even if someone else was paying for me, I can't believe a restaurant can stay in business with such disgusting food. When we complained it didn't matter I guess, super disappointed and irritated how we wasted so much money on food we plan to feed our dog.

Great experience. Our server provided us great recommendations and the atmosphere was very elegant. Most importantly, the food was delicious. The flavors were very unique and everything went very well together. Out of every dish we got, I would not say one was better than the other. 10/10 highly recommended if you are looking for that special asian fusion night out!

Love this place, great for lunch business meetings or an evening date night. Sushi is really good, wait staff helps make good recommendations as well if you wanna try new things. Nice crowd on a Friday night, good ambiance and plenty of eye candy. I will definitely go back.

The outside is what drew me in from the beginning. I've been dying to try this place for a while, mostly to sit outside on the gorgeous patio, and have a peak at the architecture. I highly recommend a reservation. Even if you want to enjoy sitting at the bar, there's usually people waiting for those seats as well. Drinks - we ordered espresso martinis off the menu (made with real espresso instead of the blend mix), and spicy margaritas. You must like spice! We tried various items on the menu. I highly recommend the rock shrimp and adachi flame roll. Carina is a great server !

Food and service were excellent. It's located in a great area in the heart of Birmingham in a nicely decorated older house I would highly recommend this as a lunch spot or dinner spot, depending on your preference.
