    Food keeps getting better and better! The Cesar salad with house made croutons was outstanding. The croutons were perfectly crisp and seasoned on the outside and soft in the center…with a beautifully stacked presentation. Crab cake was always delish… so were the coconut shrimp and sushi rolls. Service was excellent and we could hear ourselves and have a nice conversation. We will be back for sure!

    The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.
