    The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.

    UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING EXPERIENCE AS USUAL! We love the sushi bar experience and often go early to eat sushi so we can interact with the chefs. This time may have been our favorite, best of any sushi restaurant we have visited in the world. Kudos to Chef T and Kane (I know I didn’t spell those right) for guiding us through a delicious journey of the UME menu. Fell in love with the Tasmanian Trout and Hamachi Belly! Yum yum yum! To Scott for the Ume Cocktail recommendation…I’M A CONVERT! Delectable cocktail you can enjoy year round! CHEERS! See you all again SOON!
