   My best friend and I had an incredible time! This was her first time here for dinner and she was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the MD Crab Fried Rice, the Maine Roll, and the spicy tuna on crispy rice! For me, the tuna dish was the absolutely star! So fresh and flavorful. I love the crunch of the fried rice but it could have used wayyy more crab! The main roll was not pretty good but I felt that the lobster was overpowered by the cucumber. My friend order the Dashi Cacio E Pepe and the Wall Street Roll! She loved everything!! I tried her dishes, and I would have to say the Wall Street roll was the best of the two if comparing to the main roll! Our waitress was so knowledgeable and so kind! She was extremely attentive! I wish I could remember her name but shout out to you!! This is one of my favorite places to go in the summer but I’m happy that I got a chance to experience it in the winter as well. I know there isn’t much space, but all they need is some live music on occasions (jazz, etc) and that would completely set it off!

   I had high hopes for this NYE dinner, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. The restaurant ran out of basic essentials like tables and plates, leaving my date and me eating with napkins—not exactly the celebratory vibe we were hoping for. To make matters worse, the wait staff seemed inconsistent and inattentive, often bypassing us entirely. At times, I felt practically invisible. While I understand the challenges of a busy holiday evening, the lack of preparation and attention to service made for a frustrating and unenjoyable experience. I hope they take steps to improve for future events.

   No food after 9:45pm. Make sure you come early or your reserved table will be assigned to someone else.

   Food was pretty good but a little expensive for what was provided. For a Japanese style cuisine there was a lack of sauce options, including low sodium soy sauce which should be an automatic as Soy Sauce has so much salt already. Also, the lack of Sake was a bit disappointing as it was only cold and one was very sweet and didn't even taste like sake. It would be a place I would like to return to in the summer, during the day, as the balcony and view looked amazing .

   Tiny bar trying to pretend to be a restaurant. Wasabi was from a tube and the ginger from a jar. The presentation and service were about the only good thing about the place.

    Overall a good expereince. The view is okay from inside, to really appreciate the view you have to be outside on the balcony which is a no go during the winter.
