Ambiance was special. Service was impeccable. Food was good - not great. Steak sauce was cold. Sides are needed but large. Took a long time for the entree. Meal seemed expensive for the relative quality.

This is a quiet, low lighting, lovely venue that has inside and outside seating with heaters. Such a great menu with great, unique options. We started with a miso soup that was very good. Transitioning to a vegetable roll that was personally brought to us by the chef that was so beautiful we almost didn’t eat it. Fresh and crisp and tasty. Grant was our server and he was fantastic. He recommended the A5 Wagyu dish that was delicious and the crudo dish was devine. This is a must for sushi fans. Thank You Grant for such a memorable evening.
