We are long time customers. The place can use some updating and a deep cleaning. No hot sake ? Def should make sure the machine works. The staff was very good from Louis the server, Hector the chef and Andy the manager. They all were very accommodating. Food is consistent and very good.

A great place. We were a group of 8 and every one of us found the food really good. The steak was fantastic and I had some of my husband’s salmon - so good! Will definitely go back if the opportunity arises. Well worth it.
