    Loved everything about our dinner experience tonight. Food was fresh, delicious and served beautifully. Our waiter, Sergio, was spot on, efficient, kind and just overall great. Drinks were good and served quickly, and the baked Alaska dessert finished our meal off perfectly! Can’t wait to go back again!!

    We only had the sushi this time but it was fantastic. SO fresh and creative - one of the rolls had kiwi on top; sounds weird but it was a perfect compliment to the spicy salmon. Sushi rolls seem to be higher priced than most places, but the rolls are actually larger. And, they're easier to share because of the size. Sat out on the sidewalk tables- great for "people-watching". Service is always attentive.

    Everything was truly outstanding, but the dining experience in the romantic courtyard was significantly marred by excessive volume by guitar player. Couldn’t really carry on conversation. Excellent guitarist, but we didn’t come here primarily to listen to him.
