    We had a 7:00 pm reservation but weren’t seated until 7:30. While waiting, it seemed like they were scrambling to find us a table, and we were eventually placed in a far corner, which was fine but a bit frustrating. Once seated, it took until 8:00 for a server to come to our table. We noticed open tables and no visible wait, so we asked about the delay. It turns out they only had three servers working because they hadn’t expected it to be busy on a Tuesday night. While I understand scheduling can be tricky, this is a popular beach town, and it’s the week before a holiday—busy evenings should be expected, especially when reservations are made days in advance. Our server did his best under the circumstances, but he was clearly overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience. That said, the food was absolutely incredible, and everything we ordered came out perfectly. It’s clear the staff was working hard, but better planning from management could have prevented these issues.

    Have been her a half dozen times. Great food and usually great service. Tonights waiter was inattentive. Service has been stellar on every other visit.

    Food was lovely (accept for the Sea Bass, rubbery and overcooked. The drinks were filled to the brim with Ice. The ice actually spilled over the top of the glass. Our salad never came, so we actually got it after the meal. This should be a fine dining establishment and these seems like mistakes that a mid market restaurant would make. Thanks

    So thrilled to have a high-end sushi spot in the area. My husband and I came for our wedding anniversary and they went out of their way to make our dinner very special. We sampled many of the menu items and enjoyed each and every one. We can’t wait to come back and try some more. The service was on point, Yoshi and Efren were wonderful.

    Outstanding! My husband and I go out for Sushi once a week and this is now our favorite spot. A little on the high end with price but definitely worth it. The entire staff was excellent and multiple people stopped by to check on us and even received a few complimentary apps and dessert for our anniversary. Will definitely be back many more times
