Had a great time at Casa Sensai, I went to celebrate my 23rd birthday and they for sure made me feel special. Mark our server was outstanding, he was so attentive and extremely helpful. He suggested great plates and drinks from the menu and everyone enjoyed their food. It was our first time here and will definitely be back!

The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.

Our server Sara was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. However, the hostess name Uniqua was extremely rude, unprofessional and unwelcoming. The food was good, the service was great, the hostess wasn’t.
