    I loved everything about it except the music was too loud. There was music playing within the restaurant and then the band started and it was even louder. Its hard to talk to my friends at my table when I feel like I have to yell. Wonderful service and great food.

    We had a wonderful time - the atmosphere and people are fabulous! Our waitress Maggie made the night, carefully advising wine, tea, soup, avocado Caesar( a must share starter) and the amazing crispy trout - the sauce, veges and fish was so scrumptious !!! Last week we tried the scallops risotto ( big wow) to finish our meal we had crème brûlée which had a tinge hint of orange 😊 Ask for Maggie as your server- she’s such a bundle of joy and makes your do ing experience fabulous !

    Second time for the Omakase, loved it as much as the first time. The espresso drinks were inventive and flavorful, the bitterness cut through by unexpected flavor elements . TL, our server was attentive and explained each course in detail.
