" Though my time at Kumiko was generally positive, there were a few misses. I felt like some of the drinks could have packed in more flavor for my taste. Also, while the service was lovely, it felt slightly overbearing at moments. The aesthetic was charming and cozy, which I appreciated. I would consider returning for the cocktails alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful time at Kumiko! The cocktails were unique and fun, with beautiful presentations. Each drink I tried was perfectly balanced. I also appreciated the Japanese influence in their menu. The ambiance gives off a chic, upscale vibe, but it still feels approachable. I can't wait to return to try more of their cocktails; I hear they rotate their menu often. " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly remarkable experience at Kumiko! The cocktails were diverse and flavorful, and the service was top-notch. I could appreciate the thought put into every element of our drinks. However, my vegetarian friend mentioned the food options were quite limited, which might deter future visits for groups with dietary preferences. Overall, I would recommend it without reservations for cocktail aficionados. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best cocktail bar I’ve visited! The drinks are not only delicious but beautifully presented. I also enjoyed the elegant setting which really enhances the experience. Though I found the food to be a little underwhelming, I still left happy and satisfied. I’d come again just for the cocktails. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kumiko is a unique experience in a lovely setting. The cocktails are creative, and many highlight distinct Japanese flavors. The service was friendly and personal, which added to the experience. I opted for a few small plates, and while I enjoyed my dish, it did leave me wanting a little more in terms of variety and portioning. All in all, I will be excited to visit again for the drinks!

" Kumiko is an upscale cocktail bar that truly embodies elegance. From the moment you step in, the staff treats you like royalty. I ordered their signature cocktail flight, and each drink was a masterpiece. The atmosphere was intimate yet sophisticated, a perfect escape from the bustling city outside. The only thing I wish is that the food could match the caliber of the drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Kumiko exceeded my expectations in most ways. Their cocktail menu is, without a doubt, one of the most innovative I've encountered. The seabass small plate was delightful, but the other foods we tried were less memorable. The atmosphere is perfect for your next special night out. I would highly recommend visiting Kumiko for the cocktails alone. " (*Curated Review*)
