    Everything we had was delicious. Started with baked scallops and crab (yes it is hot even though it's under the cold appetizers). Then had wagyu dumplings, which were pan seared and crispy on the outside. The sushi was extremely fresh and very light. Thin coat of rice so you can actually taste the sushi instead of tasting only rice. Can't wait to go back. Smelled delicious aromas of shrimp fried rice at other tables and will definitely try that next time.

    amazing restaurant impeccable service food was beyond what you could ever imagine. Diversity of menu choices from a Mediterranean cuisine was just fabulous. My only complaint we had a bottle of Finca Sandoval and it was on the wine list at $89 and we were charged 139.
