    First time there. Recommend by foodie. It was wonderful from valet parking to valet parking. The ambiance was great sitting at the bar, watching the chefs deliver beautiful dishes. Our server was wonderful and helped us pick exactly the pieces that matched our “likes” and pushed us a little too. A great night and one we won’t soon forget.

    Our family has eaten here several times. The main reason we keep coming back, besides the good food and drinks is that they cater to food allergies. A member of our family has a severe shellfish allergy and Sakana caters to it every time. Since Sakana also caters to vegans, this allows many options for shellfish allergy patrons.

    I brought my two teens in for dinner tonight. Mason was our server. He was OUTSTANDING. Kept our drinks full, and my wine glass 😉. He was extremely attentive as we ordered 3 times. Every time we dine there, it’s always been an exceptional experience. And not only is the service excellent, we feel safe ordering sushi. Blue Sake is THE ONLY establishment I will order raw. Keep up the amazing work!!!
