    Every moment of our evening was phenomenal. We had a reservation and there was no additional wait. Our food and drinks were incredible. The quality of the meat was unreal. We don’t typically dine at steakhouses but for our anniversary, we wanted to do something special. This place did NOT disappoint.

    Wow, what an amazing find. I came and had the 7 course omakase and every course was fresh, delicious, and innovative. Beautiful little restaurant with a fantastic selection of beer, wine, sake and cocktails (which I may have indulged in a liiiiittle too much but there were so many amazing options!) Bang for your buck is unmatched since omakase can usually be in the hundreds of dollars per person range (not here!) Holly was amazing, along with the 2 sushi chefs whose names I didn’t catch. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in NOLA.
