Our service was so bad that we had to pay an additional $5.00 for the parking garage as we were there beyond the time allotted.

Cuando nos dieron la mesa le pedimos al muchacho que nos llevaba si nos podía cambiar a una mesa con mejor vista y su actitud fue molesto aunque si nos cambió a la mesa que queríamos con mejor vista. La comida espectacular. Los rollos de sushi, el smash burger y el sandwich cubanos muy deliciosos. Los tragos súper buenos. Y el ambiente súper nice !

Overall, we give a 5-star rating for the experience. However, the service we received initially was a 4-star, as we had to change our server midway through the meal. The manager was attentive and stopped by our table to ensure everything was satisfactory after the server change. This gesture was appreciated and helped make the rest of our dining experience quite enjoyable. We were able to relax and take in the beautiful waterfront views, making for a wonderful birthday celebration. We would recommend this establishment to others looking for a quality dining option with scenic vistas in the Tampa area."
