    Would not go again. Terrible parking situation, tiny restaurant with poor seating arrangement, very slow considering it wasn’t that busy - took 30 mins to get a drink. Food just isn’t that unique or good to justify $250 for two people! We’ll go back to our fav sushi place for $80.

    This place was a very pleasant surprise. Beautiful space including a patio with a fireplace. Very inclusive happy hour menu. Each bite impressed more than the other. We loved the tempura veggies, blue crab roll, tuna tacos and crudo. Cocktails were good too especially the Naked and Famous. Highly recommended!

    Food was great. Always is. However, the timing of food was terrible, as was the service. Clearly they are understaffed and/or undermanaged. We waited over an hour from the time we ordered until we were served food, and our appetizer delivered last after we’d finished the rest of our food. Probably won’t return because of that.

    This was our 3rd time here. The food was fresh and outstanding! We sat in the back patio and quickly realized our wonderful server was covering all the tables by herself. She did an amazing job considering the situation. We will definitely have a 4th visit!

    Amazing food! The service was slow due to one server on staff the night I went. Had some issues with my orders , I disclosed to the server about my food allergies and to exclude certain ingredients from my order so they had to remake two plates and caused a longer wait time for my party Order to come out. The main dining area spacing, ambiance and accessibility was fitting for someone like myself to get my mobility aid and or mobility chair through. The back patio was cute and intimate with fireplace going dim lighting made it extremely cozy and comfortable. Again, it all about the food and everything was a 10 out of 10!

    Overall it was an underwhelming experience. The food was dull and tasteless and the sushi lacked any sort of flavor. The service was extremely slow and almost felt as though we were not welcome. Very disappointing start to our date night. We ended up paying and going to a different restaurant near by.
