We had dinner before the show. In past when I’ve had dinner before the show they’ve taken my ticket for the show for reserved seating while I ate. This time the didn’t take our ticket but gave us a reserved seat. When entering the venue they requested to see the tickets to be scanned. It seemed as an extra step. Food was exceptional. My friend had the spinach and bacon salad and the salmon which she said was excellent and perfectly prepared. I had the same salad along with a spider roll… my meal as well was excellent.

We love going to hear jazz at Yoshi’s. The food is good, the drinks are expensive & are hit or miss. The sushi is decent. We had the sea bass which was very good. Charred on top, wish the skin on the bottom was crispy. The server was great. The restaurant is packed, there isn’t any room for another chair anywhere. The lounge area is set up nicely, you can see from almost anywhere & the sound is quite good.

I celebrated my birthday there on 5/20 with my family. I cannot say enough about how great everything was. The service was great. The food was fantastic. The majority of us had the scallops and pork belly. Delicious! We also had sushi and calamari. Fresh and delicious. The noise level was pretty high because it was packed due to shows going on but it did not detract from our fun. I love Yoshi's! One of my favorite spots!
