Our server (Grant J) was so amazing. so kind, accommodating, checking in to see if our order was ok. It was my friends birthday and she is allergic to soy and sesame but LOVES seafood/fish. So we went here and they accommodated for EVERYTHING. Grant was the best, so understanding and didn’t question a thing. He also checked for everything in case of her allergy. Felt like a celebrity lol! Food was the best. Vibe was very chill was upscale. Loved!
