We have always loved the food, vibe, ambiance and decor at summer house. We celebrated a birthday today and got the bday package. There were balloons set at the table and they also served bday cake for the guest. We had a great time overall!

Service is always top notch. Bartender to waiter to server —amazing. We were a party of 3 and wanted to share a few things and our server made it so easy for us by slicing and chopping and making things easy to share. Of course the food itself was perfect. It was extremely busy and crowded but despite that we totally enjoyed our experience.

We’ve been here a couple of times and each time has been incredible. They had an amazing broccoli cold dish and their salmon belly sushi was phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with anything! The fish quality is amazing and so buttery.

Awesome meal, service, and drinks. We were seated in the back room which on a cold night felt a little less cozy but on the flip side was quieter so easy to catch up with friends.
