    Great experience here celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday! Osetra Caviar & steak tartar was a wonderful way to start our meal. She loved her Scallops with Koji Risotto & my Aged Ribeye was cooked to perfection. Service was phenomenal, our server was prompt, attentive & knowledgeable, allowing my girlfriend tastings of several wines to ensure her satisfaction, truly making my her birthday special. Another tally for server Emily, thank you

    Hands down my new favorite sushi spot! Not only was every single item on the happy hour menu we tried absolutely delicious but the drinks were superb as well. Icing on the cake, Katie, our waitress was super sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful with the menu for us first timers. We can hardly wait to plan another night out. Next time we plan on enjoying the beautiful patio seating. Cheers to a lovely spot in a super great area. From the salmon and Tuna crudo, to the tacos, nigiri, or sushi rolls, anything else you try you won't be disappointed because the flavors pop, and don't forget to grab a Margherita or Lychee martini!!!
