! Despite being about 20 minutes late due to parking issues (lots of activity between hockey games and shows), the staff kindly let us keep our reservation. A heads-up: make sure to allow extra time for parking—we thought we had enough but ended up delayed. The staff was excellent, and the food was fantastic. There was a small mix-up with a drink, but they gave us a free one to make up for it, which was appreciated. Yes, it’s pricey, but it was my wife’s birthday, and it was worth it for a special evening with delicious sushi—a tradition we look forward to every year. Highly recommended if you can snag a reservation. It took us about a month to get ours, so plan ahead!

Creative and wonderful tasting drinks. Stop in during the holidays for the “O Tannenbaum” which is the most amazing gin drink I have ever encountered. The sushi is fresh and beautifully plated. This is was my third visit and there will be many more!

We have been many times and were excited to take someone who had not. From the very beginning the service was very slow. By the last order of nigiri we waited 45min with no fish in site. When we asked to just skip it and give us the check it took another 10min despite being a relatively quiet Tuesday night. Food was still outstanding though.
