    The team at High Street was fabulous. I brought at group of 8 and they had a wonderful experience. Stephanie the AGM was very accommodating and sweet, Ellen the owner was lovely, Ruby was so sweet and our server Gregory was a fantastic server. I highly recommend this place. Make sure to make a reservation before hand.

    Super tasty sushi and great service. I am gluten free and have a couple other food allergies. Shoutout to our waiter, Alex (I think!), who was able to tweak several dishes for me. I felt safe eating here AND enjoyed the food, which can sometimes be a trade off. This is NOT a BYO as some local blogs and articles have mis-tagged as. I did not see any mention of a bar or drinks on OpenTable or their website, so I called ahead. They have a full bar and our cocktails were excellent. I hope in time they add to their wine offerings as it was a bit limited. For our party of two, the tables were spread out just enough that you didn't feel like you were dining with your neighbors. I appreciated that the two-tops were longer, easily accommodating the amount of plates that tend accumulate on the table when dining out for sushi. Everything we had was excellent and it was a great value. Hoping to go back soon for the Omakase!

    service was wonderful and attentive I really wish Japanese restaurants wouldn't use spicy tuna in so many dishes. Both specialty rolls were filled with it. I want slices of fish, not tuna scrape.
