    Easily five stars. And we are picky. The food was amazing. From the sushi, to the appetizer seafood combo platter, to the entrée companions, to the three main dishes we ordered- all were delicious and prepared perfectly. We will be back!

    It was a nice restaurant! Great food and service. Because this area is so busy during summer I’d recommend inside if your want a quieter dinner experience or if you enjoy the crowds and the weather is right outside is still a great option.

    Food was great. Our waitress was very good. My wife took her recommendation and was extremely surprised how good it was. My filet was excellent. We will visit again next trip.

    Miso sea bass was overly SALTY from the miso without any other flavors balance it out. Even worse was the fish tasted off. Mixed seafood grill came with risotto. The rice was UNDERCOOKED. It came with catch of the day, which we were told was barramundi. Last I checked this fish is native to Asia and Australia. Service was also slow, took over 20 minutes after ordering to get our food. Wouldn’t be so bad is they gave some house bread to keep huger at bay but they didn’t. And had to ask twice for lemon. Super disappointing. We were better off eating at the restaurant at our hotel.

    I expected sushi to be better for the price. Try rice was dry and not sticky. Sushi was just average.
