The salmon is farm raised, so no , thank you. The tempura vegetables were oily, but well grilled and seasoned and served with a steaming pink peppercorn dipping sauce. The rice and mushroom hot pot with tofu was an interesting vegetarian choice.

Delicious meal but think my order of steak could’ve included a small side of rice or vegetable. We will go for lunch instead of dinner in the future. But all good!

These guys are the best in the business. Don’t overthink it. Something on the menu for everyone and the service is top notch. Dan and the team went above and beyond for my birthday. The crab legs were to die for.
