    the quality of the food and service was extraordinary. we sat outside on the nice patio, which added to the experience. Really appreciated the server's knowledge of the menu. All the people involved in our service were very helpful and also very excited about the food they were serving. The excitement was justified. Special experience

    Dining in the garden is great. Dining inside is too noisy.

    The best meal we have had in a very long time. Truffle salad was light with the exact light touch of truffle. The perfect storm roll was buttery, spicy and delicious. The miso cod was absolutely perfection,! The filet mignon was the best I ever tasted. Dessert “ cigar” was so fun. Can’t wait to go again! PS our server Jason was very friendly and welcoming and selected the order and speed of the courses which made our experience exquisite.
