    Nice as usual. Food, service and ambience great, but just a bit too loud. The rooms could do with some sound dampening. Otherwise a great spot to celebrate anything

    This was a superb experience. The Seastar roll was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever have. The salmon was so fresh and served at the absolutely correct temperature. Just felt like it melted in your mouth. Also had oysters, the sashimi, and escargot… all excellent. Finished off the night with espresso and the pineapple cheesecake. Espresso was excellent and the cheesecake was the highlight of an already exceptional experience. The cocktails were certainly worth it as well. Bellevue is full of great places to eat. This quickly jumped into my top 3.

    Our group of 4 each raved about their meals, the service, and the relative ease of parking and accessing the restaurant. Prices are upper end but not outrageous and well represent the value received. The restaurant was packed and a bit noisy but in a festive way.

    Happy hour is a busy time but it’s a bargain. $2 oysters are a great deal! Dinner was very good, we had Salmon, scallops, black cod and seared tuna. All dishes were delicious although I was wishing for some wasabi for the tuna. The clams were shared and are always great.
