Great omakase experience. Food was great, there was not a course I didn’t enjoy. Service was superb-very attentive to detail. Restaurant was clean, music was not too loud or offensive.

Dining solo at Sato Omakase was one of the most memorable and rewarding culinary experiences I’ve had. As a woman dining alone, I was a bit nervous walking in but from the moment I stepped through the door, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The entire staff, but especially Allen, was incredibly attentive without being intrusive. They struck the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, making me feel not just comfortable, but special. The Chef Daniel was engaging and thoughtful, explaining each course with passion and precision. I never once felt out of place dining alone. in fact, I’d recommend it. It allowed me to be fully immersed in the artistry and rhythm of the meal. Each dish was a masterclass in flavor, texture, and presentation. Every bite told a story and there was an elegant flow to the omakase here, with subtle surprises that make the experience unforgettable. Sato is more than just a meal… it’s a moment.

I am sad to write this review. We were really looking forward to this restaurant, we love Omakase. The service was great and attentive but unfortunately, the fish just didn’t not seem fresh and for the price it just didn’t meet our expectations.
