    Water was good. Unfortunately, that's all we had. Waited 25 mins for service before leaving. All we had was the water that the beat-up robot delivered to our table super slow.

    Everything was really great. Sake recommendation, complementary edamame and sushi was a great bonus. We ordered 5 rolls and they were big. Very delicious. Two rolls just had a little too much cream cheese for our liking but was still good. Service was on point as well.

    My brother had the 15 piece sashimi dish which was beautifully sliced, very artfully presented and in his words, the best he ever had. my swordfish was good, but the fish and the vegetables were on the cool side: made worse by the fact that it was served quite a long time prior to the sashimi plate, and I had to wait a bit for the wasabi I asked for. That is the only complaint I really have, or it would have been a 5 star experience. If the kitchen can prep and present main courses at the same time, diners can enjoy their meals together. The tempura was delightful and the hostess explained to us the one vegetable we were not quite familiar with. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

    The food is consistently good. The toro sampler platters are my favorite. Need some more options for sashmi samplers. not a fan of the robot seating us when the server could have done the same. Service staff are great.

    We have eaten at swordfish for years. Doubt we go back. Service was super slow because of a “backup in the kitchen”. When the warm food did arrive, the one hot appetizer was cold. Not sure if we just caught a bad day (night before Mother’s Day) or, if there is more of a systemic issue here.

    The food was great as usual...it is our regular sushi place. The scallop entree was luke warm and had to be returned for a warm up...maybe it sat on teh robot server for too long.

    Swordfish is my new favorite! From the robot hostess to the warm greeting from the sushi chefs you feel instantly welcomed. The menu has a huge selection of every kind of sushi plus some things I even recognized! I'm no sushi expert and I'm never disappointed. Their house salad dressing is pure heaven and the complimentary bites make you feel very well taken care of. The lunch bento boxes are a great variety of tastes and a good price but they close lunch down at 2:00 so I'd recommend arriving by 1 so you don't feel rushed. Note: no lunch on the weekends so check their hours before you leave home. Swordfish is a wonderful food experience!

    We ordered bottle of wine. Took 20 minutes to get the wine. Added an appetizer order once wine finally arrived. We didn’t order dinner until long after we finished appetizer. My sushi tasted pre made and like it was sitting in fridge. Same with my sashimi, it was icy, almost frozen. Server was not at all attentive and overall not even friendly. I eat here often, and it’s usually amazing but not this night. When you’re spending over $100 for two people you hope for better.

    Service was excellent. Was seated right away. They were very busy and the food was taking awhile. They brought us a couple Maki rolls and some edamane(sp) to hold us over. The new lighting was a little bright ruining the ambiance. The food was good, not my favorite rolls, but I think we just made bad choices. Food is normally excellent! I do recommend them still.
