The way they are conducting patio dining at SATO felt incredibly safe and comfortable. The tables are well over 6 feet apart, the whole staff wears masks and their eyes clearly show they're wearing smiles underneath, too! You can tell they're happy to be back. They cheerfully and gently remind all patrons to pull their own masks back up if they have to leave the table and walk through the other seating or go inside. The tables, chairs and everything in between is thoroughly sanitized with care before each new party is seated... read more

Sato always delivers. Top notch cuisine at all three locations. Each is different. All are great at what they do. I recommend trying all of them.

Went there tonight for my birthday (party of 2). We had reservations and were seated promptly. A waiter came over to get our drink order 5 minutes later. We ordered. He came over twice after and we ordered an appetizer. We wait for a half an hour after our drink order and it still wasn’t there after we were assured it was ten minutes prior. We ended up leaving and canceling our order after the wait. Service was poor and we didn’t get anything other than water.

Haven't been there in a year. Waitress was very friendly. She delivered the water to start and the glass smelled like chlorox. I ordered the Avocado roll and it (rice?) was cold, not room temp like it should be. I also ordered the crunchy sweet potato roll as I have in the past and this time they had some kind of orange hot sauce on top which was too hot. Definitely won't be back.

This place is truly a gem! The only thing that looks yummier than the food is their one bartender (believe her name is Katy) She is so polite. Great conversation, even better cocktails! Their entire staff treats me as if Im one of them and I really feel at home in this restaurant. I actually think the head chef might have a crush on me because my food always comes out lightning fast and perfect every time. I give this place a 10/10 and will continue to come here every day until they get sick of me. Highly recommend
