The food was fantastic! Even my friend who doesn't like seafood or fish very much loved every single dish. The service was wonderful, the ambiance was great, highly recommend! The ceviche was so tangy and delicious.

Our menu is a blend of classic dishes with a modern twist, showcasing favorites such as our grilled steak of the night, delectable pastas, and succulent scampi.

The best REAL sushi/sashimi omakase experience (in authentic Japanese fashion) in a 100-mile radius at a price point under $250/person. Excellent work by all the restaurant staff and chefs! Can't wait to return next quarter.
