Anniversary dinner - we wanted a rather quiet time so selected an early time in late afternoon. Since we had not been before and the restaurant group has a great reputation, we decided to order the chef's choice sampler. Wow what fun. Food was great (we are Sushi lovers) and the pace was perfect. The wait staffers were all superb and our primary walked us through all the selections as we went. She was very knowledgeable and kept an eye on our table so that the timing of each selections was just perfect. We plan on returning soon!

My family and I really enjoyed our dining experience. The ambiance was beautiful, our waiter Rashid was awesome and no overcrowding. Before the pandemic, we made coming here a Christmas tradition and this is by far the best year. Previous years (before the pandemic) it was very crowded and the food was just ok. But this year no over crowding and the food was excellent. Thank you for making our first time back since the pandemic a great one to remember. Happy holidays to you all!
