    Our first time turned out to be very good. We had reservations and was seated within a few minutes after our arrival. Our food was delicious. I had the "jumbo" crab cake that was listed as an appetizer. It was definitely not jumbo in size but was the best crab cake I've ever tasted.

    One of the best meals I’ve had recently from the mouth watering biscuits to the tuna tartare and of course the perfectly tender and deliciously seared filet. Amazing!! And for as busy as it was we didn’t seem to have issues hearing the whole table talk. Jeremy and the team took great care of us.

    We had a great experience from start to finish. Every piece of Omakase we received was fresh and delicious! Each piece was crafted uniquely and was paired perfectly with other ingredients. The ambiance was a fun vibe! Staff went above and beyond for my husband and I. We also ordered A la carte pieces that were not apart of the omakase package. I highly recommend trying the Big Mac, Toro Negi roll, and the Spicy Salmon Yuzo Roll (this is spicy if you like heat). Everything paired nicely with The Yamazaki. We’ll definitely return back!
