We had fantastic emperor’s margaritas, the hot mess appetizer was delicious, and the other rolls (avocado and another one) super fresh and good. It was Christmas Day. Everyone there was super kind and in a good mood. Jimena took great care of us. Dart, the manager, was also super personable, kind, and professional. We will be back.

The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.
