    The food was out of this world! I would suggest making reservations from 5pm on because that’s when they start seating on the second level which is much nicer and prettier. Our waitress was friendly and very helpful with her suggestions of food since it was our first time eating there. YES a bit pricier than other places BUT the food is above average so in my opinion it compensates. The only complaint I would have is they there’s no open bar lol but they serve wine which saved my day :)

    Amazing! Why haven’t i gone there sooner?? Delicious meal! We did feel the server was trying to push us out and the noise! Whoah! It was painstakingly loud. Only drawback. Next time i know to request a table towards the sushi bar in the back. Food was delightful and the space was beautiful.
