Our experience at Kasumi far exceeded our expectations. It's not often that our family of 5 all agree on a restaurant, but last night was one of those times. All of the food was excellent, from the salad, dumplings, brussel sprouts, fried rice and array of sushi and finally the cheesecake and chocolate Asian puff. There wasn't one item that we wouldn't want to order again. Our waiter, Patrick was excellent and we appreciated that the manager, Stefano stopped by to make sure everything was to our liking. We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful night on Lake Boca, though the ambiance inside is wonderful as well. We will most definitely be regulars.
