    From check-in to checkout, everything was seamless. Server and managers touched the table multiple times. Food came out fast. The best items were the wagyu teppanyaki and the whole snapper. I thought music was gonna be loud but it was just perfect volume but then we came in at 5pm on Saturday night so everything and everyone was still family-friendly.

    We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day, when we arrived we were sat at the bar to which I asked if we could take a table, but were told only outside lol. The inside is nice and looks like a classy restaurant but once you’re outside it’s like a strip mall sushi bar. I was a bit disappointed. Moving on, the food was delicious the fish is very fresh and almost buttery so so good! The service was also very good although one of our rolls wasn’t event cut completely thru and eating it was difficult and messy nonetheless the flavor was there. Would I go back? Yes. Would worry about making a reservation? No.

    I had such an amazing experience at this restaurant. The ambience was amazing with a live artist. The Bolognese was phenomenal and the cocktails were very unique and refreshing. Pricing was mid, but definitely worth it for the experience. I will definitely be back probably this weekend.

    Great place with amazing food, service was good but it was a slow night. Felt like I had to keep flagging down someone for service. Service used to be top notch. Food is still good!
