    Honestly it was a good experience. They have a really amazing happy hour menu and I think the value was really strong. We ordered the carrots, meatballs, burger, and I had a glass of happy hour red wine. My fav was the meatballs and wine. Service was really good!

    Food was great as usual. Did not expect the brussel sprout driving to be that much, but no problem with that. Oshi and Miku rolls were delicious, and so was the otoro. I think Zed was our server (according to our receipt). Tall gentleman from the island; very nice guy and great service. He offered soy sauce at the beginning of the night which was a nice touch for once because from previous experiences, it seemed that my servers seemed a little hesitant/judgy when I once asked.
