    10/10 experience, we had the valentines menu it had 9 courses and it was a whole new experience, I never liked seafood or anything fishy so those dishes were a bit frightening to me but once I took a bite into the food, it was a delight, the salmon the tuna the oyster tempura, all took me away and I only wished there was a full platter in front of my face. Ambiance was perfect, compliments to the chef and the service was impeccable, no hesitation to help with any problem. One thing I can most definitely say about this restaurant is that pictures do not do it’s justice. You need to experience it with all your 5 senses to determine if this is the spot. This is most definitely the spot.
