   Pros: The restaurant is very attractive. The food tasted very, very good. Cons: Although we had reservations and the restaurant had many empty tables, we waited a long time to be seated. Service was extremely slow. We had to ask for water to be refilled. My wife’s knife came dirty. When she sent it back, instead of giving her a new, clean knife, the waiter washed the old one and brought it back wet. The food portions were very small and overpriced.

   A bit pricey and everyone orders the hibachi meal brought to the table because it’s the best deal and presented very well. A calm and relaxing dinner

   Very expensive for the quality of the meats and food. Very small quantities. Not impressive.

   Very rude and unaccommodating hostess. Overpriced food which was dry and overcooked. Server kept hovering wanting us to order before we even had a chance to look at menu. Will not be returning.

   Little overpriced but a fun experience. The setting is beautiful and the food is good I didn’t love the oily “smoke” For the tableside grill though.

   Honestly the seafood experience is one to forget. The arugula salad was overdressed. Prices were high. Beautiful setting. Awful food. Surprisingly the service was not good.

   We were very impressed with the quality of the food. We had the Robatayaki (one seafood and one meat) with the pork belly fried rice! It was delicious. The wait staff was great and friendly. The corkage fee was $45 which we though was on the higher side but non the less worth every penny.

    We ending up coming back to this restaurant during our day! It was fabulous. The crispy rice with Aji tuna, the shrimp with macadamia nuts, the pork belly fried rice were all spectacular. The service was excellent and the view sitting out on the back deck was nothing short of as spectacular.
