We ate outside at Dragonfly on a chilly evening. The heaters were great and we were very comfortable. The give of is had a selection of sushi and grill items-the omakase, skewers, miso, etc. The crispy Brussels sprouts and the edamame were the best appetizers we had. The salmon skewers and crab fried rice were wonderful. For dessert we had ube flan, matcha torte and assorted mochi-all of which were delicious!

From the start it was very friendly. The price was reasonable for the food. I was able little nervous because I have a shellfish allergy and obviously this place is big in that. Only reason I went was my fiancé wanted to. Anyway, server was fantastic. Paid attention, good service making sure plates were cleared, cups were full and food was good. Overall it was very good.
