The only disappointment was the miso soup. Whatever the base stock was supposed to be the soup tasted like warm water. The maguro and hamachi sashimi were excellent as was the tempura combo basket. California roll was tasty and fresh and they even custom made a shrimp tempura roll to order. Service was top notch. Ambience was like a busy Sushi house should be.

They changed the menu and we didn’t like it as much as we used to. Also, the waiter made us wait so long to get a drink and was really just lackluster and flatlined. Not super friendly or attentive but he did take a dish off the bill that we didn’t care for that was quite bland.

Great dj on Friday. We got the guacamole for appetizer so good! For dinner we got the ribeye and the Carne Asada both were delicious we were so stuffed but didn’t want to leave any of it. Drinks were delicious I had La Guapa. Recommend for a casual dinner date or girls night.

Absolutely fabulous meal with outstanding service! Olivia helped us navigate the menu and ordered for us. The meal was perfect!! Great selection, amazing combination of tastes and textures, all delicious. Each time a dish was brought to the table, it was explained and then they would repeat how the food allergies were respected. It gave me great confidence the chefs were listening as they prepared food that was like great art! Loved it!
