T he ambience and decor was spectacular! Absolutely beautiful restaurant and the bar beside was next level. The service was was very quick and the servers were very attentive but the pacing was a little too quick as we got mains while still eating our appetizers. One drink was forgotten but they offered it on the house which was appreciated. The scallops, crab dip and polenta were amazing! The apple tart was fun for dessert. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Came for dinner before a concert at Tractor Tavern down the street and all of the staff were SO friendly and kind. The third person in our group was 30 minutes late, but they took it in stride, provided us excellent service, and made sure we felt good about timing, knowing we had a commitment later. They offer great quality sushi and fun cocktails at what I feel are very fair prices. We will be back!
