The food and drinks at Tuna Bar are always delicious. Our server was friendly, efficient and helpful with suggestions for new rolls for us to try - the Rittenhouse and Broad Street, which were both great. Also enjoyed the Pork Gyoza and Wagyu Beef Spring Rolls. The Shiso Picante cocktail was a winner too. We sat outside, which was pleasant with a nice breeze. Can't wait to go back!

I had a delightful lunch at Osushi with a friend this week. My salmon bento box was perfect. The miso soup, salmon, rice, veggies and California roll was quite plentiful and very delicious. The green tea mochi was served with a dollop of whipped cream and a Pirouette all of which was a very nice ending to our meal. I highly recommend!
