So this place was above my expectations. Seating was timely, the atmosphere was very romantic. Although it was very busy, our server Jorge was always on point. My water glass was never empty, my wine glass was never empty and when I could not decide what I wanted Jorge recommended the pork chop. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! It was cooked to 👌🏾 perfection!😍. My friend got the salmon and she also states it was flavorful and cooked well. I was so pleased with the service I wanted to speak to the manager and he (Nick) was out on the floor being great!!!. I swear if you have not been here for any reason, you're missing out. Just be sure to validate your parking before you leave.
Great food and loved the atmosphere. The servers were very attentive and their recommendations were very good. We didn't have bookings for music
Overall, nice place! Very fast service and nice ambiance. Seating is pretty close together though. There were a lot of items on the menu I wanted to try. We meant to go to the jazz show after dinner but my boyfriend accidentally ate crab (his fault! He didnt read the menu right.) so we had to run around town seeking Benadryl. The food was good, but I wasn’t obsessed. The veggie roll was very thick with rice and the ginger was surprisingly very very mild. The mushrooms were good but unseasoned so the entire dish was a bit bland unfortunately. The tempura avocado + tofu was very flavorful and good. I would serve the sauce in a separate bowl as the tempura got very soggy very quickly and mushed into a paste. The sprouts were good and the rest of the sushi was beautifully plated. My boyfriend loved his sushi! He especially liked the Cali rolls (which he confirmed DOES use real crab - oops!) I’d come back to try other menu items and hopefully actually see the jazz! I stocked my bag with Benadryl so I’ll be prepared ;)
