I cannot fully express how great of an experience this was. If we could have given a 10-star rating, we would have. From the service to the food to the general ambience, everything was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back for dinner, and we are excited to try out the brunch menu. If you are considering giving this a try, let me assure you - it will be well worth it.

Bartender was fantastic, we sat at the bar while waiting for our table since we arrived earlier than our reservation time. The chef and waiter at our hibachi table were just as amazing! Would highly recommend!
