Service was not attentive, caring or engaging. I am assuming it was because it was a party of 7 and her gratuity was already included. Very disappointed as I’ve been here before and the service had been amazing.

Once we got there, we waited for about 20 minutes just for the waiter to tell us that the stove/grill was not working and all we could order was their sushi. She said ‘I understand if we wanted to leave’, it was an anniversary dinner and we left without compensation for the sushi we ‘had’ to order. Yet a a group of people go an order of hot steak a half hour later. Was very disappointed.

We go here frequently for anniversaries and celebrations. The food is phenomenal, the service is not only quick but they will explain exactly what you’re about to eat. Highly recommend giving it a shot. However if you are on a budget and are hungry this is not the place to go as the menu is somewhat high priced.
