Our evening started with a mistaken booking at outdoor seating which we hadn’t recognized- although the restaurant was quite full the manager was able to find a three top table inside which was wonderful- we then had an absolutely marvelous meal- each piece of sushi was a piece of art. Our New York City son who was dining with us and had just come back from Tokyo said the food was superb- from the inventive salads, the sushi, the wagyu beef dumplings, and several lovely desserts. The staff was very schooled in explanation and very kind and unobtrusive- a wonderful meal- thank you all- we certainly will be back
