The food here was amazing. Rob was great in suggesting delicious options. All were fantastic. I had the miso cod and lychee martini. very tasty. I recommend AKA and will come again when I'm back in town. The young lady at the door who greeted me and took me to my seat was lovely too.

I had a fantastic experience at AKA! From start to finish, everything was on point -- the vibes were just right, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere made for a great time.
