More of a Japanese themed speakeasy bistro than an izakaya. The ambiance is nice, with its tiny space it certainly looks beautiful and sophisticated.
Yet the food menu is very small, if you are here for food or come hungry, you might be a bit disappointed on the options provided.

Decent cocktails and very good food in a beautiful room. The speakeasy element is always fun, as well. Highly recommend sitting at the bar

Adorable little speakeasy in the back of Walter's. Elegant wood decoration, well-executed drinks, and a tasty if standard menu

One of the best restaurants in the neighborhood! Love the speakeasy vibe, and even though the menu is small every single item is excellent.

It’s more Japanese themed. Some of the food was good, but an strange overly American take on Izakaya. Was very expensive… for what it was, a (baked) potato served in tin foil for $11. Won’t go again.

I had trouble finding the door to get in and ended up in the hallway to a private residence and then the restaurant’s kitchen... but that’s part of the appeal I guess. The atmosphere and staff were good. The happy hour cocktail was great. The portions are small so ordering a lot is needed (and thus pricey). Everything was delicious tho and some of the dishes were rather unique.

Pleasantly surprised. No sushi. Low key. Great food. Odd that the raw menu that had “grilled” shrimp on it. When I asked the server how grilled shrimp could be on the Raw menu she said “ it’s lightly grilled “. Ended up being some of the most over cooked, tough rubbery shrimp I’ve ever had. Too much attention in the beginning ( early reservation ) turned into perhaps not enough service clearing plates and getting our check. Other than that, a complete class evening with great food.
