    The food was tasty. I think they could do with having some more sushi platter options. The ones they have are quite basic. It’s good sushi but doesn’t offer as good options as other similar restaurants in this price range.

    Once again, excellent food. It was a great shame that the man in charge on the night was less than engaging.
