    The food is uniquely prepared and does not disappoint. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. They often guide me through the selection process and are thoughtful about allergies and food preferences. I have dined there dozens of times alone, on dates, or with a large group of friends, and everyone has enjoyed both the meals and service. If you like sushi and are willing to try something different book a reservation at the table or bar. I am sure you will like it.

    We enjoyed a wide variety of foods, starting with the spicy edamame with Peruvian corn which was outstanding. The snapper with the chimichurri sauce was a special and was outstanding. We did the sashimi and sushi plates and added on some rolls. We also had the miso black cod, which we would highly recommend.
