    Pretty good food - slightly above average if it was priced 30% lower. Service was pretty good. In comparison to similar prices restaurants in other cities it’s a solid 6/10

    Nice ambience for a date and quiet enough to have conversation easily. Food was ok. I enjoyed the edamame, maki rolls, and really loved the pecan dessert. The miso cod, which is what I was most excited for, tasted very fishy to the point it was difficult to eat (we couldn’t even finish it). Made me a bit sick to my stomach. Service was top notch and very fast (in a good way), though.

    For the first time, the food wasn’t amazing. There was a chicken dish that just wasn’t too our taste, way over sauced. They also forgot to deliver one of our dishes, the vegetable, until after where we were already done. But being the class act that they are, we were comped that before I even said anything.
