    Sat at the bar and Stephen was awesome. The food was flavorful and interesting while being very down to earth and approachable. We came on Valentine’s Day so it was a set menu but the stand outs were scallop stuffed mushrooms, salt and pepper octopus, milk bread and wagyu sirloin. Can’t wait to come back.

    Amazing food! Loved the Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashini. Miso Cod- delicious. Still craving it! Wagyu - so good. I got two ounces - wish I had ordered 3!! The spicy tuna roll- shocking good for a seemingly simple dish. Gracious service. Will definitely go back.

    We had a wonderful omakase experience at the sushi counter at Robin. Each dish was unique and truly delicious. The flavors were sophisticated yet not overly complicated. The seafood was so fresh and perfectly cut/prepared. And our sushi shef and his assistant were welcoming and very professional. The coconut milk soft serve with sour cherry sauce and caramelized topping (I can’t remember that detail) was the perfect ending. Can’t wait to return
