    I like to have conversation over dinner and don't appreciate louder music forcing me to speak up. I'm not at a club. The tables are already close enough together to create enough noise. Kill and lower the electronic music.

    Sorry….but the rolls were watery, I understand most, if not all , sushi/fish is flash frozen, but there are ways to mitigate the effects of that process prior to serving it up… place is fun though

    The food is always fantastic. They love to play house music loud enough that the servers have to ask “could you repeat that?” I enjoy the vibe, but it can be hard to talk with your dinner date.
