Very nice experience made reservations and were seated a bit early and were in a very comfortable booth arrangement. Our waitress Bailey greeted us and brought water and bread. We looked over the menu and found it difficult to choose with so many Italian dishes. After ordering appetizers and wine we ordered our main course. It arrived fairly promptly and all was well made and delicious. For dessert we split a tiramisu with coffee and espresso. Everything was enjoyable the ambiance was fine as many families were assembled for a thanksgiving meal. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly and proficient. Only drawback was the management not offering a military discount for the relatively few living war veterans. Highly recommend!

Another beautiful restaurant by DeShantz. The salad had a delicious citrus ginger dressing and was beautifully prepared. The rolls, nigiri and sashimi were all wonderful. Outstanding items were the gyoza and yakimeshi. Would love to see more gyoza options in future offerings.
