My husband and I have dined at Tsuru three times in the last couple of months. This is why we love it: the food is outstanding; the service is friendly, prompt and helpful; the music is pleasant and not too loud; it's in a pleasant part of the city. We also particularly enjoyed the advice we received one evening on which sake to order - and it was wonderful!
