    I arranged a birthday lunch for my friend who drive down from LA. We sat at a lovely table on the deck overlooking the water and boats. We order the oysters with shallots which were chilled and delicious. Then we split two sushi rolls and the fish tacos (3 in a plate with black beans) . Our waitress was delightful and everyone from the hostess to the busboys were terrific! I think it was worth every penny and I’ll be back again and again. It’s a favorite of mine and I’ve been coming for over 40 years!! 🍣🐬😄💕

    This is a fantastic restaurant and a fantastic dinner. We had multiple apps, along with some mains, and dessert and coffee. We had a two hour dinner and it was fantastic. (but plenty of people were in and out much quicker than we were). Definitely has a bit of a spot vibe, but at the same time there were a few families with kids, lots of older people, people in their 20s, basically the demographic and ages was all over the map. Great restaurant. Will return.
