    The service was very slow. The restaurant ran out of some appetizers and Entres by 7:30. You would think that they know how to order food so they don’t run out.

    If you are thinking of a place to go on your birthday or even an average night, COME HERE! We truly had one of the, if not THE best service experiences of our lives (not to be dramatic). Mario, our server, deserves a raise and a promotion. He made my birthday one of the most special days by playing along with all the birthday surprises, sending us some specialty sushi on the house, catering to my friend’s dietary restrictions with us barely having to tell him, being quick and efficient, selling excellent recommendations, and just being hilarious. The sushi here is SO fresh and unique, the drink list was overflowing with options of beer, wine, and delicious craft cocktails, and the atmosphere was intimate yet lively and fun! There’s a rooftop area as well as a downstairs portion with a huge window that makes the place feel much bigger than it is. Everyone here was so kind and really made this day amazing. Cheer !

    ambience is great, service is fine, but the food itself is not great when considering what you’re paying. The O-Toro Spoons were our favorite thing on the menu. But again, the most disappointing thing is that there are many places serving better tasting food at this price point.
