    Despite being significantly delayed due to car trouble, I was relieved to find that our seats were still secured. It had been a while since my last visit, and although the chef had changed, the quality of the sushi ingredients was excellent and delicious. I will definitely come again.

    We had a party of 5.. some of the party was a little late, but the staff was very accommodating. It was the first.time.for all of us in the group, and the waitress was very helpful and assisted with each of our drink selections as well as our meals. The holiday decor was just right, festive but not overdone. The Blackberry Smash and Huckleberry Bourbon cocktails were the hot topic of the night. The food was A-Mazing!!! Porkchops were tender and cooked to perfection, the ravioli was not what was expected but lasted phenomenal and, of course, had to order the French oinon soup, which would be in my top two. No pictures.. we were in the moment enjoying the food and company.
