The service was great. The food was delicious but the menu bummed me out a bit since I have tried great sushi and I felt the rolls were basic for that type of restaurant.

Waitress and wait staff were wonderful. The hostesses could be a lot more welcoming. No smiles and never greeted. They seemed overwhelmed and avoided eye contact. Food was outstanding! It was truly a culinary experience and that made up for where the front end fell short.

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!!!

Absolutely fabulous meal with outstanding service! Olivia helped us navigate the menu and ordered for us. The meal was perfect!! Great selection, amazing combination of tastes and textures, all delicious. Each time a dish was brought to the table, it was explained and then they would repeat how the food allergies were respected. It gave me great confidence the chefs were listening as they prepared food that was like great art! Loved it!
