We have a fun tradition where we have our friends blindfold themselves on the way to the restaurant and wait to take off the blindfold once we're inside. We even joke about making them take a vow of silence after dining to preserve the charm of this amazing place. Of course, the blindfold part is just a playful joke.

We make them take a vow of silence after leaving the restaurant. We don’t want this place to lose its charm because it’s so awesome. Totally joking about the blindfold part....maybe

We were seated in the very back in what seemed like a romantic, semi private table, but unfortunately, there was a group of 6-8 very loud and intoxicated 20 somethings next to us that definitely put a damper on our date night. Not the restaurants fault though. We ordered drinks and appetizers and they were out quickly. The edamame and avocado salad were both delicious. We then ordered our sushi rolls (philly, Spicy tuna, California, and galaxy). After about 45 minutes to an hour, the server came to us and told us they had given our food to another table and were having it remade ASAP. About twenty minutes later we finally got our food. 5 stars for the food because it really was amazing, but 3 stars for the fact that it took almost an hour and a half to get our food, and 3 stars for the obnoxious table next to us. They did comp one roll and our last round of drinks which was nice, but we were pretty annoyed at that point. We will be back because again, I love the food, I just hope the overall experience is better next time.
