    Food was amazing! The waitress recommended the eel hand roll and it was our favorite. Every dish was delicious and full of flavors. The drinks were very good as well. They gave us a free edamame appetizer for having to wait but it was all well worth it. Very cozy and intimate setting. Best seafood and sushi I’ve had in the city. Highly recommend.

    The food is incredible, and we’ve had the same server two years in a row for Valentine’s Day, he is superb. I only hope that he’s still there next year and continues to remember us, he’s always a great time.

    We've consistently come to Senti because it is always good and still continues to impress. My wife and I had an excellent four course meal this time to celebrate valentines day and every course was great. The server was friendly and informative. He timed everything out perfectly. The steak was one of the best steaks I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Seriously excellent.
