    Too bad there is not a "Maybe" option for recommendations. The Ketel One martini's were perfect and icy, the shashimi was top notch, melt in your mouth delicious!!! The place is very brightly lit and noisy! Not exactly what was desired for our group tired out from a long day at a trade show in Anaheim. Maybe great for an energetic group heading out to an even louder concert or other rambunctious event.

    Love the HH specials esp the $1 oysters. The Uni pasta was a bit pricey but so delicious and full of flavor that it was well worth it. Garlic noodles was really good too. I’m not a Brussel sprouts person but the dish was actually tasty. Bookmarked for a return visit esp during HH!

    Brunch ended at 3:00. We arrived at 2:00 p.m. We were approached by Ken, our server. A relatively innocuous person. He served us water, one glass of champagne and a special order on the brunch menu. Then...Took off and went to go enjoy his own brunch without assigning our table to a colleague. We tried to get the attention of the manager who was not interested, frankly bothered, but did fill our glass once again. In the interim, staff were sweeping the floor and shifting the table configuration directly next to our table - filthy and loud. Finally, a sweet person named Linda came to smile and serve us until we left. Linda was attentive and pleasant. Thanks heavens for Linda or my experience would have been ruined by the service and the jarring clean up prior to closing.

    The service, and food quality varies each visit and this was my last visit to this location. It used to be amazing and fresh but no more.

    This place is going down hill on week days. When they are busy, service is better and food is fresher. Weekdays not so much. Very disappointing.

    First visit has the amazing lobster roll small plate. Outstanding! Went back for taco Tuesday. Battered fish tacos were some of the best I’ve had. Shrimp tacos were excellent as well. Great service and food!
