This is my 5th visit in 3 months and I am never disappointed. Love the tapas style menu. Grazing is a favorite dining experience and the choices are many and delicious. The staff is terrific. Miriam, I believe that name is correct, was outstanding. Will return soon.

Sushi San was awesome from beginning to end! The whole staff was great. We celebrated our son's 16th birthday there. He picked it after doing some research, 'cause he'd heard it was always good. We had a blast and will totally go back.
