Overpriced and average food. Fresh fish, but nothing special about the way it was prepared or the uniqueness of flavors. Would definitely not recommend it and would never go back again.

The bill was way, way more than I expected -- their pricing is deceptive the end price will be significantly more than sticker price because of the added surcharge and the final course (because it's a rather small meal at '14 courses' you'll almost feel obligated to get the last course which is of extra charge). Easily expect about 800 for two people if you care for a wine tasting and if you decide to take the 15th added course of the wagyu-sushi. All said and done, the place is charging more than a typical Michelin star place asks, but what it offers is not anywhere close to being Michelin star. The sushi menu was less than stellar but ok. I was hoping for some interaction -- when my partner inquired about the most basic things about the wine, we were met with ignorance. Maybe my expectations are too high, or maybe I'm just salty that I blew an unbelievable amount of money in an hour and I exited the place feeling like I got robbed for what the experience actually felt like -- we made a stop at shake shake mere 2-3 hours later because of how small the 15 courses felt. The only two positives I have to say: 1) the 15th course, which was a small piece of wagyu on rice, was pretty good. Ironically, better than of the preceding sushi items! 2) the decor was nice. I wish the seats were ever so slightly higher though
