Food and service were amazing. Always love a sushi restaurant with fresh wasabi. Only suggestion - list it $$$ instead of $$. Spent over $200 on dinner for two and two glasses of wine. Worth it!

We came to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday. They were able to accommodate us with a booth request. They had a special menu with the words ‘happy birthday’ on his menu, cute touch. Our server, Brett, was phenomenal. Every dish we ordered he explained to the T, so no unknown surprises. He saw I was taking photos and grabbed another candle for me! Great experience once again. We love coming here and can’t wait for next years new menu! Cheers!
