Had the crab roll, gem salad, and black cod and everything was delicious. Service was great and our server made our family feel extremely welcome. A little pricy but more than worth it if you are looking for an upscale meal near the market.

We had a large group of 8 with various dietary needs. They did a fantastic job responding to this. Service was prompt and the food came out quickly for a large group - very impressed! Even the noise level was reasonable. Would definitely do again for a group!
