                                        We had the three-course prix fixe with a couple of appetizers to supplement, and came away sated and happy. The quality of the fish was outstanding and the waitstaff were jovial and attentive. We were not rushed and the coursing was well paced. Definitely recommended.

                                        The sashimi and nigiri were fresh and were of high quality cuts. However, the rolls were less impressive for the price. The sushi rice was well-executed and did not taste gummy or overly seasoned, which is a plus. The a la carte menu had a large variety of local and imported fish and shellfish. In addition to sushi, the center of the menu had options for a 3 or 5 course meal, which may be worth going back to try. The flight of 3 sake selections was curated and interesting, while the non-alcoholic rosemary apple cider soda was rather basic. I left with mixed feelings - the ambiance was quiet enough for conversation, the service was good, but the restaurant felt like it excelled at offering a multi course meal with sushi on the side rather than sushi being the main attraction. For the price that we paid, it is not competitive with the options from other sushi-only restaurants, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

                                        Outstanding experience as usual. We have been there many times. The food is fantastic. The sushi chefs and service staff are almost unbelievably friendly and welcoming.  Our all time favorite.
