    Octopus was my favorite. The Yellowfin Tuna crispy rice, the Greek tomato salad, miso black cod and salmon were all great.

    The food was oversted. All grilled food tasted the same if it was king crab legs, shrimp or spanish octopus because of the grill not being cleaned probably. I made a request for birthday dinner and did not get a candle on the napoleon cake that I ordered.

We take your comments seriously and will address both the seasoning and kitchen maintenance to ensure better flavor consistency.

    We celebrated my son’s birthday and this was his choice. Unfortunately this was not what we expected. Most of our food was salty. The octopus, salad, Halibut and dessert was fine, but the rest of the meal was huge disappointment. We even joke if dessert will be salty too? It was like the prep person in the kitchen used too big of the spoon today. The table maintenance was not the best at the beginning as well, but defiantly improved with shift changed. There was other few little things which were disappointing, including not working pen in the end.

We appreciate your comments about the saltiness of some dishes and will be sure to address this with our kitchen team. We're glad to hear the service improved, and we apologize for the initial lapses. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience.

    Lovely experience as always. Salmon arrived almost raw and oil soaked. Managed replaced and comped it along with offers of dessert and after dinner drinks. Evening - and their reputation with us - saved and raised. Looking forward to returning soon.

    Great service and ambiance. Took my sister here for her birthday dinner last night. I got an email earlier this week asking for the name of the person we were celebrating and what milestone birthday it was, which I appreciated and happily provided. Although the gesture was greatly appreciated, they didn’t provide anything specific so unsure what that info was needed for. Anyhow, upon arrival, our server acknowledged we were there for a special occasion which added a nice personalized touch. One minor thing is that we wished our food didn’t come out SO quickly lol but overall everything was fantastic. Service was great and we noticed how happy the staff all seemed to be working there. Will certainly be back!

    Thank you for the thoughtful review, Vanessa! We're so glad you and your sister enjoyed the service and ambiance for her birthday celebration. . We're happy to hear that your server met your expectations, and we'll keep an eye on pacing to ensure a more relaxed experience next time. We hope to welcome you back soon! Cheers!

    Excellent seafood restaurant experience. They approach service as a team. We had a high top table by the window to enjoy the river.
