Awesome time. A great dining experience. Service was on point. Only confusing part of evening was our seating arrangement. We only had outside option. But inside was 50% empty. Makes no sense. We watched another couple leave when they couldn’t sit inside.

First time eating there, we went with another couple and shared a variety of dishes. Everything was outstanding, except for the dessert which was ok but not great. Definitely will be back.

Super dining experience. You get a variety of omekase sushi prepared well. We sat at the bar and Scott explained each piece we received. We got the middle choice. I could have gotten the lower price. It is expensive but great for a special night out
