Service was great. Dishes were well timed. The food itself was quite good. It’s expensive but good quality. The salmon was a little over cooked. Everything else was pretty good. I will go back. It’s definitely a splurge place. I had 2 glasses of wine, roughly $30, and about $60 for dinner. Not too bad overall. I was not stuffed from my dinner, but felt satisfied. Hope that gives folks an idea of what to expect.

We tried the Omakase for a birthday celebration and it was a great experience! Everything was delicious and the 2 servers explained each course and the sauces that paired with it. We went with The decadent omakase and it was a nice sampling of many different foods.

Food is absolutely excellent, and staff is consistent and does a great job. We sat in the patio, which is enclosed with heaters and it was pretty comfortable, like indoors just a little tighter.

Some of our order was based on the picture in there website. This Prime Beef Tataki had a different picture than the order itself, same with the price $20. In the picture it was thick slices of beef but in reality it was 6pc thin slices of beef worth $44. It was good but is it worth it? Nope! So we end up ordering for more. So please update your online menu, because it was deceiving. We asked the server who brought ir to the table, he just shrugged his shoulder. Though Miguel the other server was very nice.
