   I'm posting this review to see if it actually shows up because I suspect most of the reviews are fake news. I have to say that I've eaten sushi in Tokyo, Japan which is arguably the best place in the world to enjoy sushi. I've also eaten sushi in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and the sushi was even pretty darn good there. The food at this restaurant is terrible. We started with the appetizer that the server raves about; pork belly. The pork belly was mostly fat and gristle; my wife's portion was entirely fat! They were kind enough to substitute the appetizer with another dish. We ate 3 sushi rolls and they were all awful. I've honestly had better sushi at a Whole Foods or Publix. The quality of the ingredients are mediocre at best. The tuna is stringy and get stuck in your teeth rather than melting in your mouth. They salmon they smoke in the $20 cold smoke doohickey you can buy on Amazon is all smoke and mirrors. Honestly the only things we enjoyed were the million dollar view of the beach and the $80 bottle of Moët.

   Ambience great and servers friendly. I had Faroe Farms Salmon which is always the best and fresh. A5 Wagyu appetizer melts in your mouth; very tasty. Lobster and Chilean Sea bass both very good. I love their soy sauce; the mild taste without salt taste brings out the flavor of the food. The Mannequin Chardonnay great if you like buttery taste. This is a gastronomic adventure although a bit pricey. Reservations a must. Enjoy.

   Unfortunately not great. Steak was cold, fish was past due and the lobster was overcooked into a rubber-like texture. Not worth the price but won't return.

   I've enjoyed "fine dining" all over the world, and appreciate and accept smaller portions of highly crafted food. But this place left my entire family still starving on an incredibly pricey tab. Should be advertised as micro-food. Very disappointing and one of the worst dining "values" ever. Felt almost like we'd be pranked.

    The last time we paid $700 for 2 was in Italy at a Michelin star restaurant.The food was good until and including the salmon. After that it was the same just a different fish. We come there regularly so expectations for a tasting dinner where very high! We prefer the regular menu

    One of my daughters has a shellfish allergy. We eat at several places around the US , sushi places, successfully. Last night, we informed our server of the allergy. We ordered 3 rolls and ramen. When the rolls came, I confirmed with the waitress that my shellfish allergy daughter could eat two out of the three rolls safely. She confirmed. The three of us each took a piece of roll. Then the waitress came running over and basically pulled the sushi off of the table and was very flustered. She said everything was OK but said that the kitchen didn’t realize the allergy and they did not use clean utensils and boards. My daughter with the allergy spit out her roll piece, and turned sheet white. She did not have a reaction, but this sent her into an anxiety attack, which then turned into a bloody nose. We went to the bathroom for 10 min to try to clean up and calm down. The manager never came up to us to ask if we were ok or to apologize. As we were leaving, he gave a flippant inexperienced apology and asked if he could give us dessert. Our bill was $360.00!!! Also the ramen was literally spaghetti noodles, nothing like the pictures advertising in the hotel elevator and on the website. and the most tasteless broth I’ve ever had. This place is awful and I would not recommend it to anyone. It is extremely overpriced and in a space the size of two hotel rooms. Literally.

    Nous étions seuls dans le restaurant avec nos enfants pour Noël . Tout le monde était aux petits soins. Pas de mots pour décrire les 5 plats que ce merveilleux chef nous a orchestré. Une vraie symphonie de saveurs. Je recommande ce restaurant très vivement!!!! Merci pour cette belle expérience.

    The ambiance and music were relaxing and the service excellent. I dined on Faroe Island Salmon sashimi, seared A5 Wagyu Beef, crab ravioli, and lobster. Mannequin Chardonnay was the perfect wine for all of the food choices The soy sauce served with the sashimi allowed for the true flavor of the salmon rather than the usual salty soy sauce served in most Japanese restaurants. I dined at Bonsai two consecutive nights while staying at The Hilton HoteI. I live local and will return to this highly recommended restaurant. Bon Appetit.

    This restaurant was amazing. It was really a very cool dining experience. Well there was only one server, he was very attentive, and it wasn't terribly busy. The menu was a little bit difficult to understand, but once we figured it out it made sense.

    Morgen G. Was an outstanding server, very attentive without hovering too much. Very knowledgeable about the menu and the ingredients. Made great suggestions base my Preferences. Very personable, and professional. Her service made the whole experience top notch The meal was a beautiful culinary experience. My husband enjoyed the Omakase although is selection from the menu the chef chooses which ones. His selection included A5 wagyu beef on Himalayan salt. Which was a fabulous fatty experience. The maki selection different then you run of the mill sushi. Which was exactly the experience we were looking for. As a matter fact someone came in and asked for a California roll, no such thing exists at this restaurant. Top of the line quality fish in nigiri and sashimi.

    My husband and I had the surprise experience of Bonsai last minute. We were just looking for sushi but had no idea how quaint this little restaurant was going to be or the unbelievable service or the unbelievable and most unique sushi we have ever had. Morgan, our server, was 5 star and took her time to explain everything on the menu and made recommendations. The price was hefty; however, once we tasted our food we understood why. Get ready for the best Wagyu you could imagine. The ambiance was a plus too. We will definitely be back as we are anxious to try everything on the menu. Thank you!

    We had sashimi for appetizer, which was very good with a provided low sodium soy sauce; for entrees we both had pork Raman - the broth was good but a little too much oil in it, and the noodles were not special, as we have expected, a little too soggy; and the green onions were chopped in distinct fashion - a little sloppy for such an upscale restaurant. The complimentary dessert was a sorbet with a side drop of mango sauce - very nice presentation and well balanced (not too sweet). The music (better for a beach open environment) was not matching the upscale environment, and the price was on the high side considering the overall value.

    Very unique! It felt like finding a secret and exclusive club with its unexpected location. Very limited seating kept the attention to service squarely on us. Food was excellent, imaginative, and full of new things I’ve never experienced. Our server was on point the entire night with great recommendations and knowledge of menu items we were not familiar with. Great night all around.

    We dined here while staying in Pensacola Beach and it was so worth it. Morgan, our server, explained the menu flawlessly and answered our many questions, provided recommendations and made our experience even more special. The quality of the fish was what made this restaurant worth it. The star of the show were the wagyu appetizer, the Florida citrus, and the nama sashimi. I would love to come back again!
