I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!

I have celiac disease and found this restaurant through my “Find me Gluten Free” app. To say this was great sushi would be an understatement! The sushi was melt in your mouth fantastic! The serve was superb from the host to waitress to waitstaff, everyone was so accommodating and friendly. When we return to Atlanta we will definitely be back. This establishment deserves more than 5 stars! Thank you so much for a fantastic dinner!
