    We’ve been here multiple times, maybe 10 times. We always get the mushroom soup, I crave and think about this soup. Today was lacking. And service was spotty, even though they meant well, but they just didn’t seem to know what they were doing.

    I arrived early and waited at the bar. The bartender was on her game. We ate spicy tuna roll and tuna tartar. Everything was great. Then we got seated and that's when things went down hill. We went with the tasting menu and the waitress was the worst. And with the tasting menu she didn't know it had a option for wine pairing. She said let me see because the sommelier is not here.(the wine is literally on the tasting menu) after a few She came back and said "the wines a go!"ummm ok. Then we are supposed to pick a fish we would like to eat. She comes back and ordered our fish for us because they don't have any fish left. I was upset. She couldn't tell us that before we went with the tasting menu. We spoke with a manager and she was really nice and apologized but we just wanted to leave and didn't want to have the same waitress.
