    One of the best meals I’ve ever had, and our waitress was great too. Not to mention 10/10 cocktails. Absolutely could not recommend more.

    The lobster roll, miso cod and fried rice were excellent. Service was professional, prompt and courses timed well for a relaxing dining experience. We will return.

    I had high expectations for this place but the food was surprisingly lower quality then I expected… I prices didn’t matter to me because I thought the food was going to be top quality but after trying two different sushi rolls , caviar/truffle pasta I was very disappointed. The pasta tasted like a $10 regular pasta that was $128 because they added caviar& truffles to it. Out of everything we got the ribeye was anct pretty good . Over all the experience was nice but I wouldn’t waste my money on the food again.

    One of our favorite restaurants-the food is the star with exquisite flavor and presentation. The fish is melt in your mouth delicious as is the corn.
