Beautiful experience! The rooftop ambiance was a great vibe! The sushi is delicious and the rib sliders were a great addition! Great spot for bigger groups, I came on a date and the service while still great was a little more focused on the larger groups, but the food came out very timely! Highly recommend coming!

Food and wine are fantastic. But the service is absolutely awful. I ordered a glass of wine specifically to go with my meal. The waiter knew that, and yet my wine came after the food was gone.
