The food is comes out quickly & is some of the best sushi in Nashville. The drinks are generous, but a tad overpriced, so be ready to pay a little over typical pricing. The waitress/bartenders are hard working, & eager to help. The DJ could turn the music down just a touch, because you have to yell to someone sitting next to you for conversations. Overall though, a must stop when visiting Nashville!
