    This was our second time at Tribute and it was once again "fantastic". Started with the raw tuna appetizer; it was presented like a work of art. The sauce that accompanied the thin raw slices of tuna was unbelievable! For the main course the table had 2-4 person steak option. Again wonderfully presented and it came with potatoes, vegetables and three types chipotle sauce which were all incredible. The crew at Tribute, although new, ran the evening like a well oiled machine! Can't wait to return in December for my wife's Birthday dinner.

    The ambiance and food quality is high-end, but the $20ish seafood plates are filling enough to be a full meal. This place is both a great date spot and a great value.
