Beautiful ambiance and delicious food. I loved the beet salad and the Leona‘s special roll and spicy albacore roll. The crispy rice was really good too but you only get two pieces. Love that the patio is dog friendly.

Worst experience I have had at any restaurant EVER! Had a reservation for 7:30 at the sushi bar and was told it might be a few minutes…45 minutes later, a rude employee asked me “how can I help you”. I asked to be seated and he rudely said can’t help at the moment but you can leave anytime. I will never be there again as well as anybody who asks me about this establishment.

Everything was excellent except for cocktails. First ones we ordered had to be sent back and the second round was just okay. But the food, service and ambiance was great.
