Lighting is poor; room is noise due to hard surfaces and lots of glass. Food was great and servers really knocked themselves out to give us an enjoyable experience.

A good, solid place to eat in the area but nothing special or worth a specific trip. Good quality food but no pizzaz or “extra” about it.

It was a perfect Christmas Eve dinner. The decor was on point. Food was great and reasonable. The steak was just undercooked so we had to send back to redo. Overall great!

This qualifies as a neighborhood find for us and we are luck to have it. The sushi is wonderful and the service is great. I would describe their menu as delicate; focusing on the wonderful taste of the fish and avoiding heavy sauces. The sauces are excellent, just applied sparingly but sufficiently. Highly recommend.
