    Perfection. From start to finish, this a true team of professionals. Not only do I adore this hotel they are located in, I now adore this amazing restaurant. The quality of the fish is unmatched along with the true sense of teamwork that never stops shining through. I can’t wait for my next trio back so I can have dinner two nights in a row at this lovely place!!

    The service is outstanding. Polite, quick, informative and not intrusive. Noise level is low so one can have conversations without shouting. Sushi is very good and creative, Each piece has hints of other flavors which combine well.

    Absolutly loved the place, it was a unique experience. Sat at the bar while the chef prepared each of the nigiris, ready to be tasted as-is. Each of them amazing. All the staff were great and welcoming. Fully recommend it.

    Everything was fantastic! To start, great ambiance and music! Everyone is seated at the same time and, yes, you do only get 60 minutes but, the whole meal is its own performance, perfectly timed. Each piece got more and more delicious! We did get a few extra pieces at the end. Cocktails were great too. It’s a fun spot and a meal not to be missed!
