About what I expected. Excellent clam chowder - my test of a seafood restaurant. I would have liked to have seen a wider choice of fish on the menu, but the cod I had was very good.

The food is good and the prices are reasonable but It’s very very loud. It’s a great place to take somebody you’d rather not hear talk. It’s definitely not the place you try to tell a date I love you or your spouse you want a divorce.

Second time for the Omakase, loved it as much as the first time. The espresso drinks were inventive and flavorful, the bitterness cut through by unexpected flavor elements . TL, our server was attentive and explained each course in detail.
