According to Zagat, This "excellent" local spot where Va-Highlanders meet is known for its "great patio" and "good, reasonably priced sushi and Thai food"; it's a mystery why it's "rarely crowded", but "those who love it" and want to keep it all to themselves "hope it stays that way."

The food is always great, but for some reason on this occasion, we had to wait more than 20 minutes before we were able to order. This felt lengthy to us.

I really wish I could give a higher recommendation, but my salmon was fishy and our server never came to check on our meals until after all of my diner companions were finished eating. We also ordered drinks right as our dinner was arriving. My companions got their drinks about ⅔ into their dinner. I got my wine after my meal. For the $$$$, I would have expected much better food and service.
