Overall we enjoyed it. The atmosphere was nice, the service was really good. The food was good. We thought the steaks were lacking in flavor - but we are from Texas so our standard is pretty high for seasoning. It is very expensive but it was really good attentive service.

Wonderful food and service. Very good sushi rolls. All of the meats we had - beef filet, pork chop, lamb chops - were cooked perfectly and as requested. Sides were fine if uninspiring. Excellent wine list.
