We had a concert at Key Arena a couple hours later, so figured it would be a good location to start from. We were seated promptly, but then ignored for 15 minutes while the single, overwhelmed waitress attempted to keep up with tables and new arrivals. Eventually we got up and left, and did a walk-in at Atlas kitchen.

Our family visited after a show at the Children's Theater and it was enjoyed by all. The sushi was delicious and the service was amazing. The ambience is nothing special, but it is simple and clean.
