    We’ve been to Casa Sensei many times and each time it’s absolutely wonderful. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is friendly and very accommodating. Our waiter last night ~ Alex ~ was amazing. He is fun, and was very attentive & made our daughter’s birthday even more enjoyable.

    The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.
