The staff is fantastic—our waitress was super prompt, friendly, and attentive the whole time—but the food was a bit of a roller coaster. The ambiance was good but it was a busy night and we had to sit at the bar, which made it a bit louder than we wanted. ​The Good: Definitely order the Yellowtail Carpaccio. It was the highlight of the meal. The citrus sauce was crisp and flavorful, and the jalapeño added the perfect amount of spice. ​The Okay: The Crunch Roll was... fine. It’s a pretty basic roll, but the eel sauce was really strong compared to other sushi spots I’ve been to. If you like heavy sauce, you might like it, but it was a bit much for me. ​The Not-So-Good: I would skip the Tuna Tartare. It was a huge letdown. It was served with bread, which made the texture really mushy—a total no-go for me. On top of that, it just wasn’t flavorful. The sauce on it felt like it was there just for the sake of having sauce; it didn't add anything to the dish. ​Verdict: Come for the friendly service and the carpaccio, but maybe skip the tartare.

There was a family with children that were being so loud it was making in uncomfortable for everyone in the restaurant. One of my co-workers asked the server to ask the family to quiet down their children. The server told the family who then came up and confronted us. Then when they left the family confronted us a second time yelling very inappropriate language. The one man even physically threatened us. We asked to speak to the manager to discuss the way the situation was handled and she was very dismissive about the situation saying the server obviously needed more training. She never even offered any type of compensation for the very uncomfortable position their restaurant put us in. If that is their idea of customer service then they are no better then the family.
