    Sea Grill is making waves as the new restaurant on the block within the Queen City Quarter complex. From the minute we walked in, to the time we left, it was an amazing experience. We remember the interior of the building from the days of being BlackFinn and it was totally transformed. The decor is absolutely beautiful (even in the bathrooms) and the food experience tops the amazing ambiance. We had two cocktails, two appetizers, a sushi roll, two entrees and a dessert and they were all served to perfection. The service was also outstanding. I will be going back and trying other menu items!

    It was my friends birthday and the entire team at O-Ku made her feel extra special. The host, the busers, wait staff, etc everyone said happy birthday…it was even on the menu. And they brought a birthday dish that was delicious, South End Shrimp, order it!!! Also they were out of her favorite roll (potato roll) bc they have to roll it before shift it is so intricate, we were bummed but moved on everything was so good. Towards the end of the meal they brought out a potato roll they rolled especially for us! Amazing! I rarely give words reviews but Mayling and team were awesome. Thank you!!

    We were lucky to get a last minute reservation for bar seats. Which was great, because Erica was an amazing bartender and we enjoyed watching her create incredible cocktails and chatted away. She gave us dessert on the house for being her fave customers that night. The food was incredible. I loved the whole experience!
