Brunch before theater. The outside garden seating was a pleasant surprise on this cold November day, with a heated enclosure. The food and service was great as well. I had the chef special, grilled Morris steak, breakfast potatoes, 2 eggs, herb bearnaise - it did not disappoint and was plenty filling. My friend had the shrimp and grits which she also enjoyed. I recommend this dining establishment.

Was looking for a steak dinner in Old City. Never thought I’d find it at a Sushi place. One of the best steaks I’ve had. I had the 20oz Porterhouse which was outstanding. The wife had Sushi. The value for the quality of food is great. The service was excellent. Give this place a try. It doesn’t disappoint. I’ll be back. See you in 2 weeks.
