    Let’s unpack the experience. Food was very good and creative, but a couple of items left me a tad confused, especially the sashimi with Pop Rocks. There is a connection between Pop Rocks and the owners daughter, but that connection did not translate to my palate! The server did ask if we wanted them on our fish and we took a chance and said yes. Bad call. The Wagyu hanger steak was executed perfectly as was the cod. Both very good to excellent. The service was simply outstanding. The atmosphere was upscale cafe and lively. (If you are looking for a quiet place to have a romantic dinner, you may want to look elsewhere.) There is one big negative, the two top tables along the partition separating the bar area from the dining floor. They are way too small and not comfortable. Could barely fit entrees and drinks on the table, plus no room for your feet. Make sure you request NOT to sit at these “wee tables.” (The server did offer to move us as he could see we were not comfortable.) Overall, a very good food experience and I will go back if the opportunity presents itself!
