Overall a very nice dinner. Their alcohol selection is very nice with a good selection of Japanese whiskey. We got the bluefin sashimi and were not impressed, but the three rolls we got were unique and absolutely delicious. Dessert was not bad; the fruit jelly on top of our cheesecake was a bit gummy. Overall though, the fish was fresh and the vibes were great!

This was my first time dining at Tuna Bar but it will not be my last. My husband and I had a great first time experience with attentive staff. Our food came out quickly after ordering even with a full dining room. The food was fresh and the drinks were strong!
