Had a great time at Casa Sensai, I went to celebrate my 23rd birthday and they for sure made me feel special. Mark our server was outstanding, he was so attentive and extremely helpful. He suggested great plates and drinks from the menu and everyone enjoyed their food. It was our first time here and will definitely be back!

The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.

Great date spot. Food is always first rate, and the service is fantastic. It can be a little loud depending on the sitting and music, but it is a fun and lively atmosphere. There is a private seating area for before or after the service, so get a drink and take advantage of it.
