    Food was very fresh and the outdoor seating is great! Recently changed the menu and we could not get sushi at lunch today- that was a little disappointing.

    First visit and we came in for Valentine’s Day and my expectation was that they would be slammed and perhaps service and food times would suffer, but that wasn’t the case at all. The service was outstanding and the food was fantastic. Our server, Chris, did an amazing job and we never felt rushed, he answered all of our questions and made suggestions as well. I thought the food would be good but it was amazing. I’ll definitely recommend this place to others and return again. Oh! And the cocktails were amazing as well. Had some new flavors I hadn’t tried before in drinks and loved them. Cheesecake was amazing.

    Excellent experience. We had the non alcoholic drink pairing and they were amazing. Very creative! The food was excellent with the Waygu, Duck and Red Seabream as my favorites. But they were all good dishes. Service was on point. Highly recommend
