    Sushi was delicious, the menu inventive with plenty of traditional choices, too. The service was exemplary from start to finish, with the helpful and knowledgeable sommelier and server making it extra interesting and fun.

    I went her yesterday with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary and Valentine’s Day. The service was amazing. I was impressed on how the staff made sure our table was cleaned before each meal. Even when we made a small mess because we ate their flaky croissants the waiter cleaned it. They always made sure our waters were filled and they checked on us to make sure we were properly attended to. The food was absolutely delicious. The truffle risotto was amazing as well as the A5 Hokkaido wagyu steak we ordered. I also loved that they gave us a card and a little plate that said “happy anniversary” made us feel rather special. Definitely would want to go again. Love the experience I had.

    The menu is equally strong on both the usual suspects and innovative dishes. Nothing disappointed. I especially loved the 5-piece jalapeno sashimi. Full bar. All staff were efficient, helpful, and kind.
