    The pizza is outstanding with a large choice of special pies. The gluten-free pizza is some of the best in the area.

    It was our first time at this restaurant however, our family members had been there before and recommended it for Christmas Eve dinner. Perfect evening!! All of the staff treated us like family and were happy to have us there. tried several sushi and appetizers. The size of the maki rolls was unbelievable and the flavors outstanding.  we had a picky eater among us and we were shocked at the things he tried and the things he liked from tartare, to foi gras and even bone marrow, so impressed.  Cocktails were absolutely loved by everyone …. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve phenomenal… we’ll be back!
