The space is dark, food is remarkable and service is top notch. We had quite a few dishes including the crispy Brussels sprouts, sashimi moriawase, New York strip and short ribs. All were delicious. The evening we went, they had special cocktails celebrating the Wicked production at the Pantages across the street. Our celebrant had the Glinda, which was a very fun tasting drink - strawberry, Prosecco mix.

We loved this place for a nice date night! The food quality is incredible and the service is immaculate. I recommend seating in the sushi bar. The chefs take the order from you and prepare the sushi in front of you.
