    I have been to the Surf many times and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious. The waitstaff, courteous and attentive. I highly recommend a trip there, especially for a special occasion. Can be a bit pricey but to get good fish anywhere is a bit pricey. This place is worth it.

    Excellent meal and experience overall. Allergy request caused a problem with the salads that was avoidable. Kitchen issue? But error was on the side of excess caution, which is preferable to a mistake. Service and fondue courses were great.

    Incredible incredible incredible! Chef Monaco was a great host, entertainer, and obviously, a great chef. We came in a little before seating and he welcomed us in while he prepared the fish. He was very fun to talk to and the way he walked us through each course made this a truly educational and fulfilling experience. Furthermore, the creativity on some of the courses pushed the limit of my understanding of omakase and even fine dining. The cherry on top was that when my girlfriend covered herself with her shawl, Chef Monaco turned the thermostat up, showing a true care for his diners. This place is truly a gem with extremely accessible parking (huge parking lot behind the CVS) and while I’d love to gatekeep, everyone should go and try Akem. Extremely worth it! Great food, great vibes, and a great guy behind the counter.
