    Sommelier and wait staff were terrific. Wine list was well curated. Appetizer was very good. Whole fish entre was underwhelming. We had better experiences in the past.

    Halibut, cocktails and bread were stunning. Service was ultra professional, but not pretentious. Fresh seafood display was excellent. Bathrooms were very luxurious.

    Fabulous from start to finish! 2nd time here. Sommelier helped us choose an outstanding sparkling from Italy. Nebbiolo based, beautifully deep flavor! Tuna Tartare was exceptional and different! Bits of Japanese pear mixed in gave it greater depth of flavor with a touch of sweetness. Whole fish sashimi is just amazing! We had the Golden eye. Sweet and stunning. Truffle fries did not disappoint (we leveled those first while fresh and hot!) For dessert, we tried the cherry cheesecake and the pear/chocolate concoction. Both were fantastic. Mixed textures and flavors. A wonderful end. Service was both attentive and helpful in making perfect selections. We will be back again!
