The food was good not big portions of proteins but enough to take home. The panko sweet potatoes were very good, my favorite, crispy on the outside soft on the inside with just enough flavor to not overpower them. Our server was not too friendly until we were ready to leave, she didnt smile much and seemed annoyed when taking our order. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed until people started sitting at the bar. Overall I would recommend it.

The only minor thing I would mention that was just remotely negative and it's probably an oversight on my part, but we had to wait for about 2 hours for the table. However, my friends and I wanted to full experience of getting the chef to cook in front of us. But we didn't make reservations. (First timers mistake, 😆). If we had, I'm sure we wouldn't had to wait. Other than that, great place with great food and awesome service. They also have regular tables if you don't want the full experience and just want to eat (wait time for that was maybe 30 minutes. So not bad for a pretty popular place).

Now, the food is subpar, the service is hit or miss, and the cleanliness has gone way downhill. If you don’t believe me, just look up at the air vents above the sushi bar — you’ll wonder if that stuff hanging off them is falling into your food. The bathrooms aren’t much better, which makes me wonder what’s going on in the kitchen or underneath the sushi bar. Yikes.

Excellent food and service!!! The New York steak and shrimp was delicious! Also the grilled Chicken. The Salad just okay. Soup was delicious! Orange/Raspberry sherbet and the Green Tea Ice Cream were excellent after meal dessert! PRICE: PLAN ON at least $50-$75 per person!! Overall fun and delicious!!

Gone to this restaurant alot. Food is always excellent, service at the tables are always good. One time we decided to sit at the bar, got waited once and never came back to check on us or ask if we wanted to order dinner.
