I particularly love the wings and the sushi. They are also very good with allergies, and have lots of good options for gluten allergies.

We had the sea scallops skewers in a yummy sauce, the filet minion which melted in my mouth, and the chocolate mochi butter cake that has the best ice cream and toffee topping. We can’t wait to go again.

I have been here quite a few times for dinner and lunches, but this was the first time we had their brunch. The brunch menu was great. Everyone had a great meal, including the kids who really like the new sushi menu. The ambiance was wonderful under the trees and the service was on point. Not too overbearing but attentive just right. Thank you again for another amazing experience. Definitely will be back again.

For the money, I would expect more professional waitstaff and more interesting food. It was just ok. read more For the money, I would expect more professional waitstaff and more interesting food. It was just ok.

Only suggestion would be to pay closer attention to the flavor of certain dishes. The Miso Cod should have been very flavorful based on description but actually was pretty underwhelming and the cod was slightly overcooked. Cocktails and vegetable side dishes were good.

This caused a delay in my sister getting her salad. I kept the wrong salad but they didn't comp us anything on the bill for their mistake. Music was too loud.

That being said, the food was amazing, our waitress was very nice and fun, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and calm. We were there for a birthday, and we had a party of 12, so it was really good that we had a reservation. Also, the way the food is served is that it is meant to be shared, so whenever any dish is ready for the table, it comes out, so that none of it gets cold and you can all enjoy/share if you want to. We will definitely be willing to come back again for another visit.

Overpriced small tapas like “entrees”. Ambience is wonderful, food ok, portions tiny food and drink wise. read more Overpriced small tapas like “entrees”. Ambience is wonderful, food ok, portions tiny food and drink wise.

The fried chicken was hard and crusty, making it difficult to eat. Another dish, noodles with carrots and beef, was undercooked and overly salty. Overall, the food was not worth the $80 per person price tag, especially considering there was no alcohol included. The quality and presentation were poor, and the decor was unimpressive. I would not recommend this restaurant to my friends, and I doubt it will last long. Good luck.

It took over 15 minutes for our server to come over and greet us. Lots of people running around everywhere, looked like 2 managers were on at the same time, but not offering help just taking up space. Food was okay… would have been a much better experience had the service been elevated.

The calamari was tasty and the bread was light and not greasy. The fish was decent, but my friend thought his carrot noodles tasted like Dinty Moore beef stew.... read more The calamari was tasty and the bread was light and not greasy.

The food was good but I felt like it didn’t blow me away and I thought it was more expensive than it was worth. I’d go back, but probably not for a while.
