   Nice ambiance. The food was fine. Has ox tail and sushi. The ox tail selection could use more meat. It came with a lot of rice. The sushi was good. The drinks, super over priced. Our second round of drinks took forever to come. Over all…it was ok, but oddly overpriced.

   The 1123 Sushi Roll is absolutely AMAZING! We also enjoyed our deviled eggs with fried chicken thighs and oxtail fried rice.

   1123 was an amaxing experience! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some great food and a good vibe. We started with the dragonfruit margarita and old fashioned. Both were delivious. For appetizers we had the sticky ribs, 10 out of 10! They fell off the bone and had just enough sauce. Absolutely delicious. We also had the shrimp tempura roll. Amazing! For entrees we had the branzino and oxtails. So good and flavorful. My only suggestion would be to grill or lightly fry the plantain that came with the oxtail dinner. Otherwise, everythng was perfect!!!! We finished dinner with blueberry lemon drop - Amazing! We want to thank Ky-Ana for going above and beyond to provide exceptional service. She was attentive and VERY knowledgeable of the menu. And kept a smile on her face the whole time! If she can be our waiter every time we would! Great job!

   Narrow booth faced a black wall/door. Waitress told us she didn’t know a number of times when we asked questions related to the menu because it was her first day. Table was not cleaned between appetizers and entrees. Given a salad folk instead of a dinner folk. Mocktail (lemonade) was overpriced at $12. All the food was overpriced and service, atmosphere, and cliental (customers next to us reaped of marijuana) was not as expected. More of a casual bar for Gen X and this place should not be charging upscale prices. Would not return.
