The food is uniquely prepared and does not disappoint. The wait staff are friendly and attentive. They often guide me through the selection process and are thoughtful about allergies and food preferences. I have dined there dozens of times alone, on dates, or with a large group of friends, and everyone has enjoyed both the meals and service. If you like sushi and are willing to try something different book a reservation at the table or bar. I am sure you will like it.

Our waitress was great! Food took quite a while to come out unlike our previous experience. Bread arrived right before our entrees which was not ideal. Everything was very tasty including desserts & coffee! Saw their Christmas Day menu too which was exceptionally good value especially in comparison to the other Westchester restaurants offering same 👍🏻
