Excellent customer service from door to server as always. The Thanksgiving meal is a generous portion. The dressing was delicious. The white meat was very good but the dark meat was dry. The mashed potatoes were good but needed seasoning. A roll with butter was missed but otherwise it covered the traditional meal except pumpkin pie.

Great experience in a modernized sushi bar. The creations were excellent. The service matched the quality of the food as well. It had a young hip vibe which is not typical for a sushi bar, but it was an entertaining experience. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent service, beautiful view of ocean at sunset. The restaurant was loud because it was busy but we were still able to carry on a conversation. The live music was amazing! Food was great, especially the dessert. The Mai Tai was fantastic. We will be back!
