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.

Our server, Michael, was absolutely incredible! My husband and I shared the Brussels sprout salad, lemon pasta, and pork chop. Michael served it perfectly. He was super attentive and friendly. When we asked for the check a bit too quickly so catch of a singer at a piano bar, he gave us a dessert menu to let us know what we were missing and then checked us out right away. Everything was amazing!
