    My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and we had the best time ever!! The head chef Alexis was funny, made delicious sushi, and put on a show — I even got to get in on the action with torching the wagyu!!! It was so much fun, the vibe, atmosphere, music, people — everything was spectacular! 100/10 would go again for sure.

    Upon entering the restaurant, it took a while for someone to greet and acknowledge my family, which was a bit disappointing. However, once we were seated, everything was amazing. The food was excellent, and the ambience was quite pleasant. Overall, a wonderful dining experience despite the initial wait.
