    A date night favorite for my husband and I. I appreciate the recommendations from staff when I want to go outside of my normal go to rolls. Exquisite food as always!

    Waiter seemed lackluster about the experience. Forgot some of our order ( we never got). The food was acceptable but nothing to rave about.

    Great menu even for the non-sushi eaters in your party. Good drink selection for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Kids menu is great.

    The food and atmosphere were amazing. The server Kyle (4:30pm Saturday, Jan 11, 2025) did everything he could to ruin our experience. We are very easy going, never complain, good tippers and he was just completely rude and rushed us like crazy. We were only in the building for 62 mins and he was rushing us from the word go. I even had a reservation! I honestly can believe i left him a 16% tip. I religiously tip 25-30%. But he really deserved 0%. I’ll refuse to ever sit in his section again.

    NY Eve and it was perfect. Lively, and very efficient, with great service. Plenty of servers and assistants on the floor to see that everything was excellent and timely. Delicious food and fresh. Our favorite in Durango.
