    This was my first time at this restaurant. The food and service were both excellent, steak and an Irailan chicken dish, Scarpielo (?). My drink, a Cismo, was excellent . The atmosphere was surprisingly intimate for a restaurant in the lobby of a hotel . Live piano music playing... Great and relaxing discovery. Will return.

    The sushi was delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed the Dragran Roll and my favorite was the Paper Tuna. The location is in a lively area. The decor is unique. Would definitely come again. Service was ok. They brought out the food in a timely manner, but I would train more on providing better customer service having customers feel more welcomed.
