    Great food and service. I live in the DC area and have access to fantastic, chic sushi restaurants, so when I compare, I do think the pricing is a tiny bit aggressive. Still, it was yummy, and I enjoyed myself. Think the downstairs dining ambience could benefit from a bit more…something. Still, I’d happily go back next time I come to town and have recommended it to my friends that live local. :)

    Sadly the service was lacking. Waitress was quick to return from tables to talk with another waitress, lots of laughter and giggles together. However it took away from the time to bring us drinks. We never received plates until another waiter brought our beverages and saw us using napkins for plates. Waitress didn’t return to table to check on us until we finished dinner. Poor service.
