As usual the food and service was excellent. However, it was difficult to carry on a conversation because of the noise level.

I’ve been coming to Nakato for over a decade and today was just as phenomenal as previous visits! The service was outstanding and the food was exceptional. We ordered a wide variety of dishes and each one was prepared with incredible attention to detail and flavor. The sushi was fresh and artfully presented, especially the chef’s special tuna cheek, which was a standout. The tempura was light and crispy, and the miso-glazed black cod practically melted in our mouths. Even the simple dishes, like the miso soup and house salad, were elevated by the quality of ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Nakato continues to be a perfect blend of tradition and innovation — a true gem that never disappoints. Thank you everyone for a beautiful evening and memorable experience. :)

We had a great experience at MF Bar Sushi! The atmosphere was inviting, the service was excellent, and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend trying the Yellowtail Jalapeño appetizer—fresh, flavorful, and with just the right kick. The Chef’s Sashimi Dinner was beautifully presented and packed with a variety of incredibly fresh cuts. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re a sushi lover!

About the restaurant

According to Zagat, This "excellent" local spot where Va-Highlanders meet is known for its "great patio" and "good, reasonably priced sushi and Thai food"; it's a mystery why it's "rarely crowded", but "those who love it" and want to keep it all to themselves "hope it stays that way."

Johns Creek

About the restaurant

Trattoria One 41 is vibrant and bustling with twenty tables and a "Cheers" like bar serving a menu of traditional and seasonal Italian dishes. The unmistakable in-town feel is complemented by its neighborhood warmth and charm.

The setting is warm and elegant and the mood quintessential Italian. In pleasant weather, alfresco dinning is offered, further adding to Trattoria One 41's year-round appeal.

Trattoria One 41 promotes a "grown up" environment. Open 7 nights, Monday - Saturday 14 years of age and older please; Sundays all ages are welcome.
