    This is our 3rd time dining here and the service was not great. The pacing was slow and not cohesive, meals didn’t come out together. The adults dessert came out long before the kids ice cream cups, which is odd. The server barely checked on us.

    We dined here for my birthday and I would give the overall experience a B-. I thought that the menu didn’t offer a ton of selection and would have enjoyed a few additional options. More variety in the apps and entrees. The service was fine, nothing to write home about. I did not like that the runners were over doing it. I mean it felt like a shark was circling our table and the moment someone finished their food, while still chewing the last bite, the runner was clearing their dishes. It just felt rushed and a bit awkward. The cocktails like the food were just kind of ehh, or fine. I would say if you LOVE sushi like I do, I’d recommend going to eat somewhere in town.

    Whole team is awesome. From the valets that park the car, to the greeting at the host desk (Cherie and Jessica) for the restaurant and especially the service (Lisa) in the restaurant. AWESOME!
