    Here's a natural English version of your review: > My boyfriend and I went to Akira Back to celebrate my birthday, and it was absolutely the perfect restaurant for the occasion! Not only was the food far beyond our expectations, but the service was also exceptional : the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. That being said, this is the kind of dining experience you go to for the quality of the food and the overall experience rather than the portion sizes. Other than that, 10/10, Iwould definitely recommend it!

Our food was really creative and done to prefection. Thank all of you for making this a special day for our daughter. We will definitely be back!
