It took a bit to get a table despite having a reservation. But once we got a table, it was a good one. Pedro was super attentive and despite the busy-ness of the restaurant, food and drink came in a timely manner and was delicious.

Service was on point, and every dish we had was delicious. The asparagus with the roe was the best I've ever had. Also the brown rolls were super light and fluffy. Would def. recommend this restaurant to anyone.
