    Great service and free parking in Nashville is a big win. Also Midtown location, a plus for local residents. Dumpling appetiser was delicious. I had an Alsace wine and my friend had a Moscow mule, both great. Sushi was presented beautifully and delicious. Will be going back.

    Came here on Monday 12/16 based on my brother’s recommendation. Enjoyed a memorable meal with excellent service by our waitress and got to interact with the chef of the day. It was a nice experience and I appreciated the way both talked us through the 5 course tasting menu. Loved the rabbit dish and the filet mignon add on in place of the lamb rack. My two favorites though all the dishes were very good. Had the option of 5 or 7 course but had to stop at 5 to leave room for desert. Mmmm. The only drawback was that the restaurant recently announced they would be closing at the end of the year. Wish they could remain open for the next time we come to Nashville, but hope they will find a new venture to visit.
