LBD Japanese Bar & Lounge is a trendy outdoor bar located next to Jinya Ramen Bar in Ward and features signature cocktails and small plates. Guests have the option to order from the menus of both Robata JINYA and JINYA Ramen Bar as well.
My friends and I had dinner on a busy Friday night and were seated at one of the low tables. The lounge is very pretty with dim lighting giving perfect date night vibes for those seated at a high top, but for us I found it to be too dark. I have to caveat my review with the fact that I don't enjoy dining anywhere too dark or too loud and by writing this I acknowledge I have officially turned into a grumpy old person. I couldn't see the paper menu or even my food as I was eating or have a conversation without straining to hear. The lively ambience only got more energetic when the DJ arrived.
Please don't get me wrong, the food and service were great and they also have a happy hour from 2pm to 6pm. It's me and not them.
