    What a gem! From the greeting to the inventive cocktails (pleasantly modified even further upon request) to the view, comfort, ambiance, & food - all were great. Attentive, professional service, from the receptionist, busboy, servers, and manager (who checked in!) - all were warm, professional, & efficient. The food was amazing - we tried several dishes & shared, and all were equally wonderful. We will be back!

    I asked for a chef’s choice vegan roll and I got a roll with lettuce and a small sliver of avocado. Seriously? For $30 I would expect more.

    If you get a table with a view, this place might be a lot of fun. The food was good but definitely not the best quality sushi we had on the trip. The hostess asked if we were staying on the property and when I said no, I wondered if that would affect where we sat or the service. I do appreciate a meal where you aren’t rushed but there was quite a lull between our first and second drinks. I might go there again if I can get an outside seat where you can see the ocean and the noise level is lower. Good poke though.

    We had a great sushi dinner. Service was very good. We sat at a table off to the side which was very nice. We would have been disappointed sitting at a high top near the bar because the football games were on the big screens & it was loud. If you want a nice dinner ask for a table. If you want a lively bar scene ask for a high top.
