The Maneki Adventure

And while it might seem like cruelty to make a hungry party stand by while half the seats in the dining room are going unused, trust that it is in your best interest simply to roll with it. Plates are served here that you can't get anywhere else in the city, certain preparations that this kitchen has been practicing for a century. So shut up, smile, and wait. Or go around the corner for a cup of coffee or something. Just don't make a fuss.

Remember, this restaurant has been serving food longer than you have been breathing. While not every plate that comes from the kitchen is perfect, a lot of them are very, very good. And every night here is a new opportunity—not only for dinner, but for an adventure.
