    Very impressive atmosphere, unfortunately it was busy, a California roll we ordered came much later than expected, they comped the roll, without request and apologized. They saw my girlfriend who as that evening, became my fiancée. They noticed she looked cold, offered to close outside door and then brought her small blanket for her legs, considering she was wearing short dress. It made our night. Service top notch.

    The food was mediocre at best. It too far too long to come out considering they have such a small menu offering. Not worth a revisit.

    It was delicious! Rolls are very expensive so if are super hungry I don’t suggest it-but the food was great-and the service was amazing.

    Great food. The Santa Barbara roll was delicious. The edamame is spicy, but very good. Eat outside on the patio for a fun evening.

    Sushi was just ok. Staff was nice but took forever to take our orders and forgot parts of our order. A little loud, but cool setting. Crazy overpriced for what it is. Small menu selection that you can’t find online. Underwhelming and won’t go back.

    The uni and yellow tail sashimi were stellar. While it was my first time at this restaurant, I had previously visited Angel Oak and can say that the experience was a bit lack luster. Albeit stunning grounds, the dining experience was not what I would expect from a Ritz Carlton. Our server was attentive and helped us celebrate our anniversary. I don’t anticipate returning immediately but it was a pleasant meal nonetheless.

    Exceptional food and service overlooking the Pacific Ocean. ThePeruvian inspired dishes are fresh and exciting and the rolls clearly contain the best ingredients. We celebrated my birthday, and our waiter kindly brought us each a glass of Champagne and a sushi "dessert". This is not a restaurant for anyone on a tight budget but it's definitely a "treat" occasion.

    I was super excited about the restaurant and did expect a high quality sushi. However, I can frankly admit that I have had better sushi’s in mid-low tier restaurants. It was eatable but definitely not the money’s worth. Maybe it was a batch issue. The restaurant ambiance and servers interest were super nice though. Thank you for being very kind and helpful to those.
