    The food was very good and service was great but for $300 for the ribeye not sure I would spend that much again as there are better tomahawks for a cheaper price elsewhere. Would like to go back and try the chicken and pork for way less

    Hands down my new favorite sushi spot! Not only was every single item on the happy hour menu we tried absolutely delicious but the drinks were superb as well. Icing on the cake, Katie, our waitress was super sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful with the menu for us first timers. We can hardly wait to plan another night out. Next time we plan on enjoying the beautiful patio seating. Cheers to a lovely spot in a super great area. From the salmon and Tuna crudo, to the tacos, nigiri, or sushi rolls, anything else you try you won't be disappointed because the flavors pop, and don't forget to grab a Margherita or Lychee martini!!!
