    I've been eager to try this place since it opened just a few blocks away, and it did not disappoint! I had the Rigatoni Con Salsiccia, and it was absolutely delicious—I can't wait to have it again. The upstairs seating was cozy and perfect for conversation, while downstairs was a bit louder and more crowded. The service was good, though not quite excellent. On the plus side, parking in the nearby cinema garage is only 75¢ an hour, which is a great deal. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be back!

    Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating. I never had to wait for anything such as refills on drinks or asking for extra sides of ranch he returned promptly with a smile on his face. The food was amazing and the environment was great. So many great beers to choose from. Will be returning!

    Blue Sushi Sake Grill has the best sushi maki rolls; especially vegetarian and vegan options. Every single option we ordered was beautifully presented and delicious. We also ordered Brussels sprouts and wontons as starters and they were phenomenal. My only negative was the noise level but it seems almost impossible nowadays to find quiet restaurants where one can hear each other speak. The server was excellent.
