    From the moment we entered the property, we were greeted warmly and treated graciously. The restaurant ambiance is elegant, yet homey. Service was appropriately attentive. The food was delicious, particularly the wedge salad and side order of carrots. The steak was good, but not exceptional.

    We've been to R/O multiple times since their opening in August of 2021. We are so happy that R/O was awarded their Michelin one star. We've been to many sushi restaurants in NorCal and SoCal during our lifetime and without any hesitation, R/O has it all with the ambience, service, presentation and chef Jordan's amazing creations.
