    What an incredible culinary experience! We had the omakase and it was truly a unique and exciting 10 course meal. Every course was creative and delicious. Easily the best meal we’ve had all year. The courses were spaced perfectly. Amberjack tartare, the most delicate flavorful shrimp, perfect duck, an egg that is impossible to describe…each course is so special. The service was knowledgeable, inviting, and fun. What a great team! Really lovely folks that made the evening so special.

    Most amazing birthday meal tonight. The server was so attentive and made sure we all knew how the menu worked and how to have the best experience. The broccoli was the number 1 at our table followed by the chicken dish and the market fish. The s’mores dessert was so fun and delicious as well! Everything 10/10, worth the wait for a reservation.

    They do fish just right there, they just run out of Ono when we ordered, so we had the baqueta bass and it was superb. I wish I could remember the name of the waiter we had, he was excellent.
