Started with the Hot Huntington sushi roll which was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had. Really enjoyed the truffle burger with perfectly cooked French fries. My son enjoyed the short rib pasta. Service was spot on.

Once again. Delicious. We went for Brunch on New Years. The food was delicious. The only thing i think i would add, is that there are no items outside of the brunch menu available. It is a limited menu so if you are a picky eater, you may want to check out the menu first. But this place remains a favorite, for sure.
