    We love Surf! We try to make an excuse to come here for every special event or celebratory occasion. The sushi is amazing, but nothing will top the veggie umami roll. If you’re not ordering it, you’re just sleeping! The online reservation system was a step up from last years reservations for Valentines Day and I actually wish they would use it all the time!

    We've eaten here before, and Christmas Eve was very disappointing. The food was meh, and we felt a bit short changed (e.g. I had a salad with grilled shrimp, but only received three shrimp for the price). We also received a California roll which was much smaller than typical, and other portions were not for sharing.
