    It was my mother’s 85th birthday, she had been there for lunch and wanted to return for her big day. She enjoyed her food, and the service was great, as was the ambiance. Great experience, thank you.

    Booking a reservation was easy, seating was great for a party of 6 and our server was awesome! It was a bit loud, but I am sensitive so I can’t fault the restaurant necessarily. Next time I may opt for patio seating. I appreciate the many zero alcohol drink options and the food was incredible!! We all had something a bit different, we tried many of the appetizers. We were all impressed with presentation, portions and taste! I would highly recommend the Nigiri sampler and the Lemon “cheesecake” is delicious! I will definitely be back!
