Went for a date night and was not disappointed. The sushi was not your run of the mill sushi, it was amazing. The cocktail were definitely something you must try as well.

Outstanding sushi craftsmanship in a beautiful, modern setting with excellent and attentive service. Nice outside sushi bar and seating...this visit we sat at the inside bar so we could watch and enjoy the exacting work of the chef.

Paid over $400.00 with tip for two people. Service and bright lights were below acceptable. Food was good but the Cracker Barrel lighting and decor was less than impressive. I expected far more from both for the price. Group of 6 drunk men were so loud and obnoxious that we could barely hear each other.

Almost dead inside. Service was quite lacking. Very very overpriced for a marginal environment. The food was good and prepared to order. We don’t need to go back. We expected much more than what we found here.
