    Indoor seating with the 58* F weather. Great views with attentive & knowledgeable wait staff. Shared the olive app & toasted bread & tomato app. The Bread! The bread was an artisanal rustic white loaf. Slight crust with tender tender insides. SOOO GOOD! The tomato topping was slightly garlicky & tasty. Decided in the Coastal Array bomba rice(Paella). Safffon infused very tasty rice topped with mussels, clams & jumbo head on shrimp. This was a winner. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the clams due to their petite size were a bit overcooked. Still, I’d order again. Needed a palate cleanser which the lemon sorbet filled the bill. Almost forgot the cocktails. Had the Top of V Manhattan. Well made cocktail with an Orange rind twist & a couple premium maraschino cherries. I love a nice cocktail at good restaurants. Never been disappointed yet. Did notice our second round (glass of Cabernet Sauvignon) took awhile. Not sure whether it was a late pick up by our waitress or the bartenders were too busy chatting. Very nice meal with a great night time view (kind of rare in North OC).

    This was our first time visiting and although the service was ok, we expected more from the food. Once we received the order it was very underwhelming. I expected more from a place replacing UVA.

    Very welcoming and service from the front desk to our waiter was phenomenal. The food was delicious. Every bite was flavorful, and I'm excited to plan my return visit! It's definitely a hidden gem. It's one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to.
