    The restaurant is vibrant. Small tables for 2. The hostess was curt, one of the menus she gave us slid off onto the floor and she left it there. She did not make us feel welcome. Sashimi is the specialty , the server told us the tuna or other fish cannot be seared or cooked to order because the fish comes from another kitchen. Our server was very nice. The food was OK, the restaurant is loud. We would not return.

    So dinner was great! There were 4 of us. We enjoyed 2 appetizers, Hamachili which was delicious and the Rose & Ivy salad, soooooo yummy. 2 of us had the shrimp & scallops with a miso sauce which was delicious as the scallops were perfectly cooked, a Miso Sea Bass that was delicious also but a touch over cooked and a bit firm but tasted delicious as well and had the same sauce as the shrimp & scallops- I’d love the recipe for that sauce and the 4th of us had a NY strip that was also delicious and had an amazing sauce as well and a side of garlic broccolini that I could go back and have a big bowl of that. The service was great, Alex was our server and he was fabulous with great knowledge and recommendations! The upstairs bar was so cool because it was built by Ringling as his prohibition bar. Gorgeous. Can’t wait to go back!

    I made a reservation for lunch through open table and when I got there the restaurant was closed. It looks like a lovely place and everyone says they have good food but obviously their reservation system is broken.
