    Excellent food without something for everyone. Efficient and professional service from the staff. Personal attention from the owner making sure that ALL of his clients have a memorial experience. Highly recommend.

    The food is amazing. The cocktails are pretty good. A little pricey, the service is excellent. The staff is absolutely engaging. Tonight‘s hostess helped me arrange a table and was most helpful. The place is definitely cool. Go eat there.

    This is my go to spot! The settings are so beautiful. With four options for seating each has a special nuance. There’s no bad seat! Coming from NYC I am somewhat of a sushi snob. The fish is so clean and fresh and melts in your mouth. I love the crispy rice with tuna or salmon as an app along with the shumai and gyoza. It’s a great place to bring a group because the menu is so varied. If you don’t like sushi, you can have the delicious pork chop or a burger. Cocktails are inventive and generous. There is a great fun vibe there thanks to Raff. Raff goes above and beyond to ensure his patrons are happy and he puts his heart in soul to whatever he does. You feel welcomed and special.

    Been wanting to try for a while It was very loud, i made a reservation for indoor and was offered outside I asked if there was a fan and was told yes, but there was not. $160 for dinner to sit drenched in sweat how lovely Food was just ok, not worth the price $30 for a glass of sparkling rose is ridiculous My cocktail no booze

    Very good overall. Had Tuna Poke Nachos, Grilled Octopus, Shrimp and Scallops, Miso Halibut, and 2 speciality rolls (School or Rock & Rose and Opera). Everything was very good except the Miso Halibut which was very overcooked and dry. Should have sent that one back.
