    The food was absolutely delicious. Shared many different plates with friends including the roasted carrots (to die for), the beets, the tomato burrata ( warmed and so much flavor), the cabbage, the ahi tuna, the chicken, the steak and the scallops. Finished with sharing a piece of coconut cake and the butterscotch pudding. All amazing!

    Impeccable meal with exquisite food and service. This is very likely one-of, if not the, best sushi spots in Calgary. 3 business meetings here in the last 2 months for lunch, each time it was spectacular. Their sashimi selection and quality is a 10/10.

    It was our third visit this year and each time is a fantastic experience. The hand rolled pasta was simple but delicious. The burger makes you feel like you're eating a juicy steak with groceries. The salmon was the best I've had in the city. My wife loved the chicken breast. Great value for money, too. My only constructive criticism would be to have fries available (rather than chips) with the burger.

    Food and restaurant was nice. Service was initially slow but improved. Food is great but price (high) versus portion didn’t balance out.
