The food was absolutely outstanding, the live music was great and the drinks were top notch. We sat outside and even though it was under 60, we were quite comfortable with the heat they had on.

Great place. Nice ambience. Lighting slightly bright. The nigiri is super fresh and delicious. We got the light omakase and sat at the sushi bar, it all came out at once on a wood platter.
