    Went there for my wife's 40th birthday. The waiter Robert as well as the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make our evening enjoyable and memorable. We started with a few a la carte sushi choices, moved onto the Canadian rib eye steak which was very tender and finished off with more sushi and wine as well as desert. Sushi was better than most places where the majority of the pieces are stuffed with rice. Definately worth it for special occasions. Thank you again. Cheers!
