We’ve been looking forward to dining here again since the last time we were in town. HOWEVER… We started with the seaweed and cucumber salad that was swimming in dressing to the point of over saturation. The sushi rice was so so dry which Very disappointing for a proper sushi restaurant. We also ordered the Waygu plate and the potato brava served with it was under cooked and flavorless. The waitress and cocktails were wonderful but the food took a long long time to come out. Definitely not prioritizing coming back when we’re in town next.

I did the chef’s tasting menu at Sandfish and honestly… I’m still dreaming about it. From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for something special. I started with an off-menu cold sake that set the tone beautifully, and by the third course, I was gifted a complimentary pour of Japanese whisky. A lovely table next to me even offered me a taste of their cab which is proof that the vibe here is all about connection and generosity. Now let’s talk about the food. I’m actually speechless. Every dish was curated to perfection, thoughtful, delicious, and gorgeously plated. My favorites? The tostada and the octopus. Unreal. The chef is truly a genius. The ambiance? Impeccable. Music was a vibe. I dined solo and never once felt out of place or uncomfortable. The staff made me feel right at home, encouraged me to take my time, and created an atmosphere that was warm, relaxed, and memorable. I wish I remembered my server’s name (he mentioned his girlfriend Lexie, who happened to be dining next to me!), but I hope he sees this—thank you for everything. If you’re thinking of going, don’t hesitate. Trust them. Let go and let the chef take you on the ride. You won’t regret it. 💫

Great customer service, food is good.....but....overly overpriced. This is not Nobu...$30 for a roll, $20 for 5 pieces of Tempura . Not sure I would go back since the food is good but nothing extra special.
