Greeted with a hot towel for your hands upon seating. Specials menu was easy to follow as well as main menu. Lychee martini was icyyyyy chilled and shaken well! Food quality was top notch, I’m big on nigiri and took the servers recommendations and ended up really enjoying the rosy perch. My absolute favorite nigiri pieces were the toro (tuna belly). It’s worth every pretty penny, it’s buttery and melts in your mouth. Sat at the sushi bar solo - the sushi chefs checked in periodically to ensure everything was up to par. It was cool watching them put together orders. Would come back to try their omakase!
