                                                    The tropical crudo ceviche was delicious - perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The asago was so tender that I didn't use my knife once - the meat fell apart with my fork! And it was served still smoking! Waiter was very attentive and the manager checked on me, making sure I was okay (I had requested a table out of the way due to having my service dog with me, and they gave me the perfect table, even though it was for 6 and I was dining alone - very accommodating!) Definitely recommend!
