    Lovely fun dinner. Food was delicious. Our server could have checked on us a bit more and one dish was never delivered, but by the time she came back to the table we were done and ready to go. Dessert was never offered.

    We had a lovely dinner! Tina jalapeño roll, rock shrimp with yuzu sauce and black cod with miso. Everything was top notch except the shrimp. It was cooked bit too long. Other than that our servers were fantastic and it was an excellent experience!

    Beautiful display of sushi and dishes. The drinks were fantastic but pretty slow service. Took a good 15+ min to get our first drinks to the table. The crispy rice, sushi rolls, and hot dishes we had were all amazing.

    Great experience! Everyone was super attentive from beginning to end. We were told that a couple paid for all our drinks. It would have been nice to see that reflected on the bill. If my memory serves me the correctly the receipt only showed the final price, so I was uncertain if that credit of -180+ was accounted for. Warmly, The birthday girl, 3/21/2025
