The food was amazing! The Red Snapper was the best we have had! Our waitress was a little off and not as attentive as we would have liked but everything else was perfect!

We chose to celebrate our daughter’s birthday here as sushi is one of her favorites. They went above and beyond to make sure that her celebration was special and created some wonderful surprises to enhance our evening from beginning to end. Everything we ordered, food and beverages (including cocktails and mocktails) was beyond excellent in taste and presentation. Abi was our server and was truly phenomenal and the other waitstaff assisting her were also incredible and attentive. Our family cannot wait to go back!!!!

The food was delicious! We loved the char-gilled oysters. We ordered 12 and could have eaten another 12. We were all adults and enjoyed the quiet and low key atmosphere. Nice waiter and my blackened gulf shrimp was delish.
