We started with a caprese appetizer. I had the grilled salmon, my wife had the lobster ravioli, and our daughter had the cheese ravioli. All of these dishes were excellent. We also ordered desserts, which included the 3 chocolate cake and the berry crumble with ice cream. These were not as outstanding but still quite good. I wanted to try the strawberry shortcake but they were out. Our waitress was nice and on top of everything when we needed it. We definitely look forward to returning.

This was my first visit. The sashimi, roll and seaweed salad were excellent. We did not care for the noodle dish. This may be a personal preference on my part. Service was excellent and it was not noisy, which is important to me. Overall a very good experience. I would visit again and concentrate on the sushi menu.
