    The restaurant layout and atmosphere was really nice. I enjoyed the Jhené Aiko station like vibe that made this sushi restaurant different. The food was really good. I wish they had more than 1 restroom for the ladies and 1 for the gentleman. I’ll definitely be back.

    The food, wine, and cocktails were incredible. The bartender was our waiter and he gave the best service we have probably ever had anywhere! He was very knowledgeable about the food and drink options, and gave great pairing recommendations. The ambiance was wonderful and the meal was outstanding. This was a wonderful experience and we will be back soon!

    We always enjoy this restaurant. We brought our granddaughter who also loved it . My husband and I shared the octopus appetizer which was one of the best of this we have ever had. Then we had the pasta with clam which was outstanding. Our granddaughter had a Caesar salad and the truffle pasta made table side which she loved. She had the pistachio tiramisu which she loved as well. Service was excellent.
