Awesome experience! Was going with a friend to celebrate her birthday but she had to take an emergency flight home. Still went and glad I did! Atmosphere, the chefs and other guests were so welcoming! The menu was delicious and will definitely bring a bottle to share next time! Thank you for the experience!

The best omakase dining experience I’ve ever had was nothing short of magical. From the moment I sat at the counter, I knew I was in for something special. The chef greeted me warmly, and the intimacy of the setting made it feel like a private performance. Each dish was a revelation. The first bite—a piece of toro so fresh it practically melted in my mouth—set the tone. The chef’s precision was mesmerizing, from the way he sliced the fish to the delicate brushing of soy sauce. Every ingredient was carefully selected, and the seasonal touches made each bite feel like a fleeting masterpiece. What made it unforgettable wasn’t just the food—it was the storytelling. The chef explained the origins of the ingredients, why he paired certain flavors, and even shared anecdotes about his inspirations. It wasn’t just a meal; it was a journey. I left feeling not just satisfied but inspired, with a deeper appreciation for the art of sushi. It’s an experience I’ll treasure forever!!!

The entire experience was perfect. As it should be. Our dinner, by comparison, far exceeded our experience at a local 5 star resort. This restaurant is a hidden gem and a true delight.
