    Sux of us went for Saturday’s buffet and it was real good! Wish it had a few more items, but it was still good and would go again. There were 2 types of salads, 3 different rolls, a few sashimi variation, wagyu egg nobugriddle (amazing)! Ceviche and tiny sauteed black cod mini lettuce wraps - all worth going for a second round! Lets not forget their steaks and potatoes! Also a very tasty dessert table! Yes, go and enjoy!!

    Overall, we LOVED it. However, there was one major problem that kept me from giving 5 stars — I wore a 100-year old fur coat. It was my great grandmothers. They “coat checked” it. I expected that mean it was hung in a coat closet. Not the case. It was hung on a hook with a bunch of coats piled on top. Not cool. It tore a HUGE hole in the top of my great grandmothers real fur coat. Now I have to find a seamstress to see if it can be repaired. It is unwearable. For such an expensive meal, I am surprised there was not better care of our belongings

    Staff and chef was super attentive! Chef walked us through bite by bite, the flavors went really well together, and the experience didn't feel rushed. Thanks for making my best friend's birthday so special!
