    First visit for my wife and I to Dragonfly. I can say with all confidence that we will definitely be back! The food and service was outstanding. Our server Samantha was friendly but professional and offered a level of hospitality that one would expect at a fine dining restaurant. Her recommendations were all hits and a few favorites were the Japanese street corn, rib eye skewer, bone in short rib, spicy kimchi pasta and the mochi cake! Amazing flavors in every bite and we look forward to exploring the menu in the future!

    First visit to Seito Sushi but not our last. Amazing, expertly prepared food with flavors to match. The freshest sashimi we have ever experienced. Honestly tasted as if it had just come out of the ocean. The service from all the staff was welcoming, professional and very patient. Jeremy took care of our table tonight which included my extended family. Not an easy task but Jeremy was courteous, humorous and very attentive. Definitely knows the menu which helped. This experience definitely deserves five stars. If you feel adventurous and enjoy delicate flavors this is for you

    While it’s always a great experience, this year topped them all! Our waitress Maria and cook Cedric were OUTSTANDING with the dietary restrictions of some of those in our party! They both went above and beyond to ensure no cross contamination occurred and verified all ingredients to make sure they were safe. They met the requests with a smile and without a second thought. Thank you! Furthermore, upon arrival, the hostess team took a memory photo of our party, printed it out, and put it in a little frame with the matter of a few minutes. Such a sweet little Christmas Eve 2024 memory! So glad this is part of my little family’s Christmas traditions and looking forward to our next visit!
