    We had an amazing dinner - the food was incredible as was the service. We were able to take advantage of happy hour and the wine was great quality, the other cocktails and drinks we ordered were delicious as well. The service was very prompt, and our server was very friendly, courteous and attentive without being smothering. The dishes we ordered were all delicious, fresh and creatively presented. We were very impressed and will be back!

    Sushi was excellent. Service was rough. We set our own placemats with menus, chopsticks, etc. went 31 minutes at one point with no check in. Never was asked for an additional drinks.

    It’s good but not great. If you’ve had great sushi before, you know the difference.
