Very cute entrance to the restaurant; great music played by the DJ (also the volume was low enough for you to enjoy the music while still being able to hear your date talk); the crispy plantains appetizer and sushi rolls were 5 star (so delicious); the drinks are super cute; the only con is that the tables are so tiny and close together. You can barely fit two sushi rolls on your table without fear of knocking something over—the waiters also struggle getting in between the tables with ease. Had a great time and will be back!

Our server was very aware of what we needed and saw to it we had full water glasses. She had excellent recommendations. Everyone loved what they ordered. We had lasagna, fettuccine, and steak. We started with bruschetta, Caesar salad, and arancini. We made reservations, I would recommend doing that.
