We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, when we arrived we were sat at the bar to which I asked if we could take a table, but were told only outside lol. The inside is nice and looks like a classy restaurant but once you’re outside it’s like a strip mall sushi bar. I was a bit disappointed. Moving on, the food was delicious the fish is very fresh and almost buttery so so good! The service was also very good although one of our rolls wasn’t event cut completely thru and eating it was difficult and messy nonetheless the flavor was there. Would I go back? Yes. Would worry about making a reservation? No.
