    Food was phenomenal. It was confusing who the host was because it took a while for anyone to acknowledge us despite having a reso. That was weird but once we got seated everything was fire.

    I always start with Hamachi sushi when first going to a sushi restaurant. The Hamachi was tender, not overly cold, and the rice was substantial enough to hold the fish but not hard or cold, again a great temperature. Thank being delicious, everything we ordered was great. I especially like the cod bite w/ miso. Prices are a bit high but the overall quality of this restaurant is great and based on its reputation lives up to the hype
