    Amazing food, had the chefs wtf sushi. Best sushi we’ve ever had. Very confusing to get to from the parking, chairs were too far from each other, so really have to lean in to talk. Over all very nice ambiance and amazing food!

    very welcoming by the host and waitress was upfront about the fish that there was little bit of small bones which on the menu shows it's boneless. I want to thank the waitress for being honest and being upfront. I do give the waitress a lot of praise.

    Food was great. Views were great. Everything’s wayyy too over priced though. I got a 10oz steak, Cesar salad mashed potatoes n two drinks …. It cost me $380… I don’t think the food was worth the price. Definitely a once in a blue moon type of place
