I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and had a very good time. The food is excellent, although I did expect more from the Diamond Roll (perhaps more leek sauce)...something to elevate the flavor of the roll. Personally, it tastes just like a tuna avocado roll, though a very good one. Other than that, service was excellent, ambience and music were great, and the rest of our food was phenomenal.

I've never paid this much for sushi. A $250 meal was no better than what I normally pay $50 for. You are obviously only paying for ambiance. I would have expected mouth watering food for the price. I've paid for meals from Michelin star chefs this expensive and it was worth it. This place, not so much. Meh.

The food was great, but unfortunately the service was terrible. Apparently, there was only one person taking orders for the entire restaurant. As you can imagine in a somewhat high-end restaurant, one expects the service to be of a certain standard and so this was particularly disappointing. Better service can be had at a neighbourhood pub! Which is a shame as the food and sake list were outstanding.
