    The waiters are very knowledgeable, friendly, and remarkably unrushed and available to explain the menu and offer suggestions.

    The ambiance is unexpectedly cold and sterile -- not what I would expect from a wine bar. The food selection is limited, but everything I had was delicious. Recommend their happy hour for discounts on drinks and selected appetizers. Highlight was the ahi carpaccio.

    A lasting favorite place with excellent service and good food. Both of our pastas seemed a bit salty, but not sure if that was with lots of added parmigiana. Early dinner hour was great because we could have a comfortable conversation with old friends without busy commotion of other guests around. Recommend highly!

    HIDDEN GEM! I stumbled across ads and recommendations while searching for a new local sushi place to try. Very reasonable price point and EXCEPTIONAL quality. After the first course, we started planning a repeat visit for an upcoming Omakase (chef’s choice) dinner, which they offer ~ monthly. The owner Jesse even stopped by to chat when she learned it was our 1st visit. Bonus: Basic hot sake is very affordable too!
