We chose omakase at the counter. It was a nice, relaxed pace. I don't remember how many courses, but we were very happy at the end. Each bite was delicious. The Spanish mackerel was the winner. All of the fish was extremely fresh and delicate.

Lovely. We enjoyed the pizza with an unpronounceable name, the Bolognese, and a side of fire roasted veg. Each was excellent. The service was fast and pleasant. We sat in the front of the restaurant nearest the street and that was certainly quieter than the main dining room. We'll be back.
