+ Sushi was very good + Service is ok, but it hard to get eye contact with them - Lobster was very small, wouldn't recommend it - Teppanyaki ambience can be improved significantly, we left it and moved away to a table Next time we'll start straight away at a table and will order sushi, that's a winner there.
