Eiko's delivers imaginative twists on traditional Japanese cuisine. Our vision for the menu combines modern and authentic traditional Japanese cuisine including seasonal, fresh sustainable fish and ingredients delivered daily from our local markets and purveyors. The restaurant's signature design element is an elegant Ipe (ee-pay) wood from Brazil. It separates the main dining room and the lounge. Greeting you as you enter the main dining room are Koi fish painted on the floor. Above the Sushi bar, a 12' x 8' Japanese inscription screen, hand painted by a Buddhist Monk.

    Mother’s Day Brunch with the family was top notch and truly a special experience. The burger (when it’s on menu - which is not often) did not disappoint. Paul (GM) makes you feel like your table is the most important one in the whole restaurant. Outdoor seating with space for our pup Woodford was the cherry on top. Will be back many more times this year! Well done team.

    Nice dinner spot after a day of wine tasting. My Wagyu steak frites was cooked to perfection. Love the open kitchen concept. We sat inside, but it’s also lovely on the patio, especially as it gets warmer. There’s also a mezzanine level. Parking lot validates when dining here, and there’s plenty of street parking. Great happy hour offered daily.

    From start to finish our experience was loooovely! We had a kind gentleman walk us to our table with not even a 2 minute wait & were served water almost immediately. Our server, Will, was excellent!! I feel we had time to chat and enjoy ourselves with the perfect amount of visits and check ins from him to feel catered to but also still able to hold our own evening conversation flow. The food took a bit to come out (or I was just hungry lol) but man was it worth it! We loved everything we ordered: the Wagyu roll, the spicy trio and their super California & the sesame chicken teriyaki bowl. The drinks we had were also delicious: an espresso martini and the Rico Guavy. But wait there’s more!! The tempura brownie for dessert with almonds was insane. They treated me to mochi ice cream for my birthday as well. Our whole experience was wonderful. We will absolutely be coming back! PS - I got Lei’d on my way out (it was Lei Day May Day) so that was the absolute cherry on top. 🤍

    We had a great girls day out that started at Bar Lucia. Our experience really set the tone for a great rest of your stay. The most scrumptious grilled cheese and the froze with limoncello was great as well. Attentive and informative service. Would definitely return! 100/10!
