    Overall - it was alright. sashimi was fresh and the sushi was somewhat authentic. However, it is deafening inside and waiters have a hard time paying attention to you. And for the price I paid, I think I can find a restaurant that is more authentic and of better quality. The sushi rice was clearly machine-made and it just didn't have the extra mile I expect from mid to high price range restaurants.

    From our initial greeting we can fault the service. They were very busy but we had continued service from different members of the staff. The meal choices were great. The food tasted amazing and also had a great selection of cocktails. Can’t recommend element smokehouse and bar enough looking forward to the next time we come back.
