Nothing extraordinary, sushi rolls took like 30 minutes and were nothing special. Drinks were amazing. I had 5 lychee martinis. Also tried the rib eye.

Excellent service from the greeting at the door , to the exceptional service by the waiter as well as the food. I’ve been here several times and each time I’m impressed. The only advice I would give to the restaurant is to install some type of heating system and it’s very cold in the restaurant at night. Other than that small detail a definite 10 out of 10!
