    I had such a great experience at Stevenson’s Library! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. The service was top notch. Our server was friendly without being overbearing, and she made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the meal. Stevenson’s library dynamite was very flavorful and beautifully presented. The sashimi moriawase was really good as well. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious food and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be back!

    Excellent sushi. I was a bit disappointed that we were put in a back area as I had made the reservation long in advance and asked for a table either by the window or outside. Kids $8 guava juice in a small plastic cup with lots of ice seemed a bit much.

    This is a must do dining experience for outstanding sushi and fantastic cocktails. Everything about this place is amazing. It is somewhat costly, but worth it and we will be back for sure.

    Limited menu options, slow service. I expected better from a Hyatt Resort, especially for the cost.

    Everything was great as always, server was super sweet and being able to get into our reservation early was a plus. But 23 dollars for a simple samon avocado roll ($17 +$5 for avocado add on) for our 2 and 5 year old was pretty ridiculous. Our main rolls were only 4/5 more dollars and those contained so much fish and extras on it. A heads up would have been nice as we ordered them about 20 minutes apart as our daughters still wanted more sushi. At least that the avocado was $5 extra and we couldn’t even see it in the roll.

    Our sushi and sashimi were great, especially the yellowtail sashimi. Wait staff needs some training though - they were hovering to snap up plates literally within seconds of someone finishing and putting their chopsticks down. Would have preferred that they focus on our experience rather than turning the table.
