Everything was excellent. I started with a sake flight and my wife had the lychee martini. Both were excellent. We had the yellowtail jalapeño, salmon with a miso sauce, crispy rice with spicy tuna and multiple pieces of fresh sushi including scallops, tuna, Uni and yellowtail. All were excellent and the staff couldn’t have been better. We had our 6 month old dining with us and our waitress was so nice and brought him out some avocado. We will definitely be back

Lindsey was our waitress and she was very attentive, polite and answered every single question we had. The food, oh my mercy the food…. Soooo good. We left feeling full and satisfied. The tuna was fresh and the cucumber martini went very well with it. The establishment does enforce dress code which we didn’t hate- the enforcement ensured a classic, elegant dining experience. We sat at the bar after dinner and noted the hostess stand offered dinner jackets to guests who showed up without the proper attire
