    We booked a dinner reservation for 2 and were seated soon after arriving. This restaurant is cozy with a lovely vibe! Our seats were comfortable and allowed us plenty of room and it was perfectly regulated for heat as it was a very cold night. We started with drinks and it was clear they take pride in making a delicious and memorable beverage. Our appetizer and main entree was outstanding and the desserts are the perfect ending to a lovely evening out. I would recommend this restaurants to all of my family and friends that enjoy a fine meal.

    My husband and I despaired of finding a sushi place that would not disappoint us or served items commonly found at your ordinary sushi restaurants and made subpar at that. We were blown away by No Relations. It exceeded our expectations. Alex, the general manager, was knowledgeable, courteous, attentive and made our experience extraordinary. The two sushi chefs were very skilled in presenting delectable sushi bites that well represented an omakase experience that one only dreams of. The quality of the fish was mind blowing. Where their fish is sourced is of the highest quality. We have been to a lot of high-end sushi places in our travels both here and abroad and this bar none had the freshest, purest fish we have ever tasted. The Tyee and the tuna, were among an array of sublime seafood, were like none we had ever tasted, so fresh, so tender they melted on your tongue. We were hesitant to go at first because we have been so disappointed to try a new place in the past, but this is in a class by itself and we highly, highly recommend you make reservations. This is perfection in a sushi bite!
