Always excellent, fresh seafood and excellent service. Ask server for some “off the menu” rolls, they have so many that aren’t on the menu!

Everything was delicious and our server was wonderful. One thing we found strange was the seating. We were sitting at a 2 top perpendicular to the sushi bar. The hostess kept seating other 2 tops directly next to us even though most of the tables surrounding us were empty. This happened twice. I understand if it is super busy but we were the only two tables on that side of the restaurant. It felt very uncomfortable and even the people that sat down next to us made a comment that 1/2 the tables were empty but they were sat essentially on top of us. Just something to think about. It definitely changed my experience

Been coming here for 15 years. Said it was a special occasion. They sat my friend and I at the table that’s awkwardly against the window of the entrance. Whenever the door opened the whole table shook. Awful. Terrible way to try to celebrate my friend’s engagement :(
