While all the food was fantastic (highly recommend the drinks, plates, maki, and, for dessert, matcha miso), the service was spectacular. We’d come back for Regan’s service alone.

The restaurant is very small, cozy, and warm. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food took a little longer than typical sushi restaurants but it's because everything is being painstakingly made by hand just down the bar. The drink menu is incredible and even the mocktails were delicious. The fish is extraordinarily fresh and perfectly prepared . I'd highly recommend. Just give yourself a little extra time to have a relaxing dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious and our server was 12/10 every suggestion was spot on. We would not have ordered half of the items without their recommendation.

Delicious food and great service. We liked the decor, but would appreciate real chairs with backs rather than square cubes. Our backs were sore when we left.
