Took us (party of 8) about 45 minutes to get seated after our original reservation time of 7PM. We were offered a round of free prosecco to make up for the lost time, which was nice. Food came out slow, but was delicious.

Service and ambience were great. Food was delicious. The citrus sashimi was good but not great. Could be just personal taste but could be better.

The outdoor ambiance is perfect in the warmer months. Food is always consistently good. Service is good - not overly attentive which can be a good thing. Music was slightly loud where we were seated.

It was a warm sunny day and we were out on the patio but there was no fan or air flowing. It was a greenhouse effect and nothing was cleaned or dusted off - tables, benches, chairs, pillows. Food and service was great and the restaurant drips charm but there were small misses.
