We FINALLY made it down from Carlsbad and took advantage of the “Proper Roast Dinner with Richard Blais.” Our first time here was well worth it! The restaurant is GORGEOUS! The staff, engaging and very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious prime rib dinner with wonderful sides. Everything was meticulously prepared and delicious! King Richard visited our table a few times which made our experience extra special. The sticky toffee and date cake with salted caramel ice cream is a MUST!!! Sooooo good! We will be back to try the famous ale battered cod and chips and the prime rib dip sando…

The food quality could use some improvement. It’s less fine dining sushi and more casual eatery sushi if that makes sense. The service was great. They accommodated our large party of preteen girls for a birthday very well. Highly recommended for families and casual sushi eaters. Less recommended for fancy pants sushi eaters. (That’s me🤷). Price is good and selection is good. Especially for Poway.
