    My sister and I love this restaurant, we brought our family for the holiday (thank you for being open on Christmas eve). The food is fresh and the rolls are divine. Love the mixed drink sugar and spice with tequila. Our waitress Abigal was so sweet and walked us through the menu and even went to the extent to bring us a house warming gift of sashimi to try. Her service is very warm. We are grateful and will come to dine regularly. Thank you!

    We had a 7:00 pm reservation but weren’t seated until 7:30. While waiting, it seemed like they were scrambling to find us a table, and we were eventually placed in a far corner, which was fine but a bit frustrating. Once seated, it took until 8:00 for a server to come to our table. We noticed open tables and no visible wait, so we asked about the delay. It turns out they only had three servers working because they hadn’t expected it to be busy on a Tuesday night. While I understand scheduling can be tricky, this is a popular beach town, and it’s the week before a holiday—busy evenings should be expected, especially when reservations are made days in advance. Our server did his best under the circumstances, but he was clearly overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience. That said, the food was absolutely incredible, and everything we ordered came out perfectly. It’s clear the staff was working hard, but better planning from management could have prevented these issues.

    Good was fantastic but they are still in start up mode. Receptionist were somewhat unfriendly and food came out of kitchen with huge time gaps. I’d chalk this up to they haven’t hit there groove yet but it’s become the Go To place right now. Citizens is better but Oku will improve with time.

    Food was lovely (accept for the Sea Bass, rubbery and overcooked. The drinks were filled to the brim with Ice. The ice actually spilled over the top of the glass. Our salad never came, so we actually got it after the meal. This should be a fine dining establishment and these seems like mistakes that a mid market restaurant would make. Thanks
