Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes.

We did Christmas Eve lunch at C-level in the outdoor seating. It was well designed with heaters and wind breakers. Our service was amazing and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back again!

Despite being significantly delayed due to car trouble, I was relieved to find that our seats were still secured. It had been a while since my last visit, and although the chef had changed, the quality of the sushi ingredients was excellent and delicious. I will definitely come again.

Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.
