We had salad, pizza and ravioli and Childs pizza for our 6 year old grandson. Although they were busy, we got seated on time and food service was really good. This was about the 4th time we have been there and always a good experience.

Went there with my wife, 10-year-old, and six-year-old at the end of happy hour. Got a bunch of tacos, avocado tempura, and a steak appetizer I forget the name. Tacos were all great, especially the carnitas and fish. Shrimp was good but not as satisfying as the rest. I wouldnt recommend the steak app.

We loved this place for a nice date night! The food quality is incredible and the service is immaculate. I recommend seating in the sushi bar. The chefs take the order from you and prepare the sushi in front of you.
