\"First of all, this is an upscale restaurant. Their prices are high, the quality of food is high, service and knowledge is paramount. Get over it.\"  (from Jen K. aka Shorty Got Lolo).  I've been fortunate to have dined at Hachi several times.  Since they first opened to last evening, Thurs. Dec 3.  Every single time has been a 5 star experience.  We were enjoying ourselves after eating last evening and one of the cute hostess girls needed our table so she got us seats at the bar and bought us Champagne !  The bar area is really nice also.  I've eaten at a lot of Japanese restaurants and Hachi is one of the absolute best.  Quality of food, Quality of preparation, Quality of presentation, Quality of service.  You won't be disappointed.  The Eight Dollar Menu should make Everyone Happy !
