    The sushi is always good but the service was not at the level that it has been in the past. It was a busy Friday night so the food took longer which is fine. However, we had to flag down our waiter more than once which is disappointing especially since their service has always been good.

    Sushi Den is always a good time. But last night Guy was our waiter and couldn’t have been more amazing. Honestly, best of the best! FIVE STAR service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Izakaya is perhaps the restaurant most special to me. Of course, the sushi is world-class good. The waitstaff is a treasure. Joey was our server and he is simply a delight.

    I came here with my husband to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I booked the reservation a few weeks ahead of time and requested a booth. When we arrived we were seated at a small table. The fact that I requested a booth was not acknowledged. I understand it was just 2 of us, but I knew we were going to order a good amount of food and didn’t want to cram it all on the small table. We also sat in a booth when we met 11 years ago so there was an emotional significance to it. I asked our server if we could move to the corner booth or any other booth because of that reason and because I originally requested a booth. The server said the host declined my request because there was a reservation coming in. We sat for nearly two hours for dinner and when we left, there was still an open booth…

    One of the best dining experiences I've had and have not had better sushi. Miso black cod appetizer is excellent. The ambience is incredible.

    Took some out-of-town guests last night they couldn't believe the variety and freshness of the fish. They were mesmerized with some of the chef's creations, the knowledgeable staff, plus the architecture and interior design. Johnny on the second floor was awesome....can't wait to go again next month!

    Amazing service! Lizzy helped us navigate the menu and made recommendations that exceeded expectations. Restaurant can get noisy during peak dining hours. Excellent food quality.
