I made a reservation for a Thursday at 5:30 PM. The restaurant is supposed to open at 5 PM, but when I arrived, it was closed! I didn't receive any email regarding my reservation. I called and left a voicemail, but I didn't get a callback either. I'm really disappointed; I was looking forward to dining there.
Gustavo was wonderful. Unfortunately, the sous chef who was working next to him needed a lot of help. Gustavo was constantly at her station remolding the unsatisfactory nigiri. The wait staff was piled up at the pick up station because she was working so slow. A few times Gustavo stopped service for the omakase and helped make nigiri and maki. The food was fantastic, but seeing this sous chef struggle the whole night turned the ambiance sour. I would return, but before ordering anything from the sushi bar, I would make sure this sous chef is not the one to prepare my food.
Awesome place, I can’t wait to go back. The happy menu kills it. The drinks exceptional and service a “10” Try the Wagu sliders and lamb goyza.
Gustavo and Zach did an incredible job on the omakase with drink tasting. I could write a long, detailed review but just go and enjoy. Amazing hospitality and high quality
Loved this place. Wanted to try something new when we were in Chicago and it was extraordinary! Really unique dishes and the flavors were mind-blowing. You can tell each dish was crafted with a superior attention to detail. The drinks and service were amazing and the ambiance felt exclusive but inviting. We will definitely be back soon!
