    I typically don't leave restaurant reviews, but I want to commend Nora and Cannon. I was served by Nora, who was extremely knowledgeable and in tune with what I wanted and needed. She impressed me with her ability to meet me at my level of knowledge with wine without talking down to me. I also had the opportunity to meet Cannon, who was very engaging and checked in on me to ensure that I had everything I needed. In their own styles, they both made me feel special, and they deserve recognition.

    Anniversary dinner - we wanted a rather quiet time so selected an early time in late afternoon. Since we had not been before and the restaurant group has a great reputation, we decided to order the chef's choice sampler. Wow what fun. Food was great (we are Sushi lovers) and the pace was perfect. The wait staffers were all superb and our primary walked us through all the selections as we went. She was very knowledgeable and kept an eye on our table so that the timing of each selections was just perfect. We plan on returning soon!

    The food here was spectacular. Service same. To be fair, I was there for a weekday lunch and they weren’t busy but our server could not have been more competent and pleasant. I’ll be back again and often.

    As always, everything was great from beginning to end. I feel some of the portions could have been a bit more since we were a table of 5 but that's how they get you to order 2 of things and not just one. The staff were attentive and great as usual. We had a little snafu with one of our after lunch teas being cold but it was remedied very quickly. Of course we'll be returning in the future. Everything on the menu must be tried!
