   Last night the sushi was excellent and the service was great! The only negative thing is that the booth at the end of the line of booths toward the exit is so small that even I, short and small, felt wedged in so tightly it was uncomfortable and the table was high even on my tall companion. I’ve sat there twice and each time felt trapped in a very small space. Change that and all would have been perfect.

   Our server seemed to be extremely busy and did not pay much attention to us. At times we waited for her to stop by and check On us and if we needed anything. After ordering bread and not getting it, we asked her to take it off the bill and to split the bill the way we had requested and she claimed she saw us eating the bread that was delivered to the table, basically accusing us of lying. After speaking to the manager, she begrudgingly took the charge for the bread off the bill. This was our first time at the restaurant and we found the food to be delicious. Upon leaving we spoke with manager Chris who told us he would address this with Rosy and thanked us for bringing to his attention. Soon after leaving I received a call from Chris telling us he had checked with the general manager and she asked that he credit us for the meals we ate to apologize for this experience. I was not expecting this at all and thanked him for trying to make it better. After checking that the server was not going to be responsible for our bill we thanked him. He invited us to come again and give them another chance. Except for being accused of lying and having to wait for our server more than once, the rest of the evening was fine. Perhaps she had a bad night and this was not her norm I like to give people the benefit of the doubt as everyone is going through stuff, but accusing my husband of lying about the bread order was not something I could let slide. Thanks to Chris and Erika for credited our meals which was not expected at all. When in the area again (we don't live close by) we will give them another try.

   Dinners and appetizers were fresh, delicious, and amazing. Service cordial and accommodating. Seafood dinners consistent with Legal Seafood and better

   Great food and drinks. Atmosphere was a bit loud but didn’t get in the way of our conversation. Prices were lower than a Legals but food was just as good. Service was very good but watched my second drink sit at the bar for 20 minutes. I was tempted to just stand up and grab it as I was sitting right across from the bar. Finally another server noticed and brought it over. Would definitely go here again. Especially since it’s some of the best seafood without going into Boston.

    The food was outstanding…really fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The service left a lot to be desired. Our server was quite inattentive from the start. Never came over to check how everything was and if we needed anything. Waited until our apps were almost finished to take our order (so we ate our apps with menus all over the table and a toddler who was getting restless because I hadn’t even been able to put his food order in). After dinner arrived there was a main component missing from my husband’s meal and since she never came over, he had to get up to go find her. Overall our meal was fantastic, but when I go back I hope to never get that server again.
