    Our first visit to this restaurant and we will be back! We celebrated a birthday and were overwhelmed with the special touches the staff put into our visit without any request from us! Custom menus, birthday Prosecco for the table and a custom card signed by staff - even a custom glass for the birthday girl! It was an incredible evening and we could not have been happier with our restaurant choice! Our friends dining with us were also in awe of the efforts to make the night special. The food was amazing - we tried 4 appetizers and a variety of rolls with the black magic roll as the favorite. Thank you to everyone who made the night special for us - it will never be forgotten for our family and our guests!
