    The sushi quality is top notch. We asked our waiter Derick to tailor an omakase for us and we get to tried out most of the menu and everything is delicious. I wish I have bigger stomach to try even more. We’ll definitely be back soon.

    The Burkett never disappoints. This time around, the Caesar salad was perfect - well balanced dressing and the boquerones were a nice touch. Our main courses, statler chicken breast on risotto, and baked stuffed haddock, could not have been better. Both were cooked perfectly and delivered hot. The room is lovely and the service friendly but not intrusive. Stop by for dinner; you will not be disappointed.
