    Sushi Jin was wonderful!! The high quality of food was expected, but they really knocked it out of the park with their service. Everyone was very attentive, and we were taken care of before we even knew we needed to be taken care of. it was a perfect meal. This is not to say this is not an expensive meal, but we felt we got more than what we paid for. We left very, very happy!

    We had a exceptional birthday dinner for my daughter’s 8th bday. The view, food, ambiance, service… all remarkable and unforgettable. Our server is very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant. He even sang a Happy Birthday song twice (French and English). Definitely a place to be for intimate and private dinner. Highly recommended
