I was there to celebrate a birthday. The waitress was lovely and went out of her way to make sure everyone in the party was enjoying themselves. There were some allergies at the table and she and the chef were very accommodating. The food was very good and will definitely be returning.

The Oysters this evening was fantastic, better a happy hour up until 630 with the oysters for two and two bucks 50 each, fresh and delicious. Seafood is outstanding and the sushi food is also amazing. Our server this evening was Junior and he was super polite and super helpful, went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night. And then there’s the manager, Carlos, what a fabulous guy friendly checked in on us and makes you want to come back time after time.
