Our 3rd time there and they always deliver. Sushi was great. They introduced us to a roll with platano which was delicious. The maragarita and palomas were perfectly poured.

Perfection. From start to finish, this a true team of professionals. Not only do I adore this hotel they are located in, I now adore this amazing restaurant. The quality of the fish is unmatched along with the true sense of teamwork that never stops shining through. I can’t wait for my next trio back so I can have dinner two nights in a row at this lovely place!!

The atmosphere / vibe / ambiance was definitely a 10 out 10. The service was incredible as well. But let’s talk about the sushi itself. While the quality of every fish we had was excellent, I wasn’t too crazy about the fish to rice ratio. IYKYK. I definitely thought the amount / cut of fish could have been a little more generous for the overall price I paid. I also thought it was interesting that they ended the omakase with a nigiri as opposed to a light dessert. But that’s just me. While my friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time, we probably won’t be coming back for a second time.

I wanted to check this place out for my friend’s birthday. The food was great and so were the drinks. Our server Payton/Peyton was extremely helpful and accommodating. She took us to the Whisky bar downstairs after as we enjoyed some drinks. She told us about the club at the top floor and we went for a moment. It was nice but a bit loud (figures it’s a club). The ambiance was great and the staff was so helpful and friendly from the host handing us sake shots at the door to the Whisky Bar bartender taking our photos. 10/10

This was a lovely experience. We went for the brunch buffet which was a good price point. Everything tasted spectacular. The sushi was exceptional quality; no fishy smell or taste. Great selection of food and the ambience was wonderful. Will be returning.
