    The food was good especially the edamame, the ambiance was a bit sterile and felt like it didn't have personality. The menu is too expensive for Salt Lake City and compared to other restaurants in the same category.

    Fantastic food, service, and ambiance! I enjoyed the eclectic Japanese-inspired menu, and the cocktails all had a unique spin on traditional drinks.

    Have been twice now and sushi items are fantastic . Service (Kelly was our server) is equally outstanding: water never got below half, wine glasses were frequently checked, and she was very responsive, but not hovering ... again, most excellent. Would and have recommended to give it a try (it is spendy however, but worth it).

    Amazing customer service. From the valet, the hostess was super accommodating and helpful. Servers were efficient, friendly. The music was perfect. Great attention to detail. We got the ribeye and sushi roll. Both were exceptional. Extraordinary gastronomical experience.

    This spot is incredible - feels like it belongs in a much bigger city! Glad to have it here in SLC. Heard about this spot several times and was excited to try on a Saturday night. This is a total culinary / fine dining / foodie spot and feels like somewhere that would crush it in Chicago / Dallas / etc. Vibe is awesome and feels really dark / moody. Our server was Sloane - he was great. We splurged a bit on the A5 hot rock which was awesome but besides that it was pretty reasonable for a fine dining spot - $470 for 4 people with tip, $100 A5 and lots of drinks. Recommendations: - Cocktails - Nigiri - Sunset Roll - Fried Rice This will be a staple spot of ours.
