Extremely good service. Beautiful restaurant. Sushi was fresh and very tasty. Pricey but high quality. The sake portion is the size of a shot glass.

Its a great place to spend a couple of hours and have a cheese plate.......however, despite having an encyclopaedic wine list - which is reasonably priced - the first 3 choices were not available and they were all Californian!! Disappointed. There must be much better wine bars available nearby.

Our Brentwood favorite (over the siblings Toscana next door) for quality Italian food and crowd energy. Super friendly service. Great place to hang at the bar, watch a Dodgers game (no sound), and enjoy a quality cocktail.
