    Wonderful dining experience! Our server, Delaney was beyond amazing. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday and Delaney overheard us talking and brought over some Prosecco for each of us to help celebrate. My daughter and I both got the NY strip and hubby got the half chicken. All meals were delectable! Artichoke appetizer was great too. Will definitely be back! 5 stars!

    We went here witha gift card and were blown away by the level of professionalism and the standards for sushi here. After we ordered two large rolls and a array of sashimi we were itching for more. On our second order our amazing waitress had paid such close attention to us she made some fantastic recommendations. We didn’t end up using our gift card so we had no excuse not to come back again!
