The experience here always exceeds my expectations. There is something new to try every time, and the team goes out of their way to ensure your taste buds are satisfied. You can watch the team prepare fresh fish every day, and perfect their craft. Highly recommend asking for Albert at the sushi bar. Can’t go back to any other sushi place after this.
