    Had a wonderful experience at Stevenson's Library. My husband and I eat sushi often and this was super fresh and delicious! And it offered some sushi that aren't available in the Mainland. It was a very warm and cozy setting. What even enhanced our experience even further, was our server Brittney, she was awesome! She did a great job describing the dishes, and whenever we were waffling between certain items, she definitely steered us in a certain direction and did a great job explaining why. We enjoyed it so much we are going back at the end of the week, and of course asking for Brittney again!

    Noisy but great food and service. Worst background music Ive ever heard. Repetitive, childlike, and annoying. Still had a nice dinner.

    2 years ago the food selection, servings and flavor was fabulous. Yesterdays experience was not the same. Reduced menu options, smaller portion size and flavor was not as expected.

    Truly a disappointing experience. Multiple items we ordered were sent out incorrect. Service was extremely slow despite many open tables. Prices were far out of line for the food provided.

    We sat on the patio, which was nice though a little breezy. Our dinner was excellent. We started with the Hamachi appetizer. Yum! Then we had the Chef’s roll, and 2 others. Can not remember the other names. All were very good. The spicy one was my favorite.
