    Food was great, however the old Sushi Lounge menu had many more options to choose from.

    It was a mad house cause an old school DJ was performing and no one anticipated the huge crowd that would show up. It was my friend's birthday and we were going out to celebrate. We had a large group but could only get a reservation for 2. So our friends went elsewhere for dinner and said they would come back to go to the club. When we came in, they lost our reservation. My friend was very upset and wanted to make a big deal about it. I kept her calm and we mingled with others that were either waiting to get into the club or the restaurant. Tables started to empty and my friend went over to say " We made a reservation on open table, how an you lose that?" The woman was very sympathetic and told us that a round of drinks are on her. We were seated right after that. Funny, we couldn't get a larger reservation but they sat us at a table for 4 anyway. We had the beef tips medium over potato sticks (we thought we were getting fries). It was delicious though. We had the arugula salad and fries, which also I would highly recommend. We indulged in the fig & lychee martini which were absolutely amazing!

    When I spend time in this establishment, I feel welcomed with open arms. The atmosphere is inviting, calming, and relaxing. I enjoy the variety of food choices. The ambience with TV, music, and glass fireplace is great! Thank you for a great experience after work.

    We love this place. My son wanted to come all the way from Brooklyn to dine here for his birthday and I was not dissapointed in his choice. They held our reservation at 7:35 on Sat. night for party of 6 despite the fact that there were several parties waiting to be seated. Mike greeted us like family which is a nice touch. The portions are very generous and the food was as delectable as always, although it took a while to arrive due to the crowd. This is a BYOB spot, which is a very appealing factor if one enjoys wine or peosecco with their meal. We brought prosecco and OJ and had Mimosas. You may want to note that they add a 20% gratuity and 3% CC charge to the bottom line. All in all, it is an amazing value and there is usually more than enough to bring home. Five stars.
