We were treated like royalty from every staff member. The sushi was outstanding ( try anything they serve with the word serrano in it). Great dining experience!

We enjoyed the rooftop dinner area because it was vibrant and nicely decorated. Food is outstanding and the wait staff helped us navigate the menu on items we weren’t familiar with. It was loud.. but also it was NYE!!

Pretty disappointing, had wrote in advance that this was a date night, one year anniversary with my significant other and that we were celebrating her getting a new job. We were seating in the worst location of the restaurant and the waiter was MIA majority of our dinner. We had to flag her down multiple times. At the end when we asked for the check, we were ignored and had to pay at the front. This is no reflection of the chefs, they did an amazing job but if you expect to pay $200+ for a dinner I expect to have better service especially when celebrating a special occasion. Please do better.

Love the food and ambiance. It's pretty expensive but worth it. Food is fresh and comes out hot! Sushi is amazing. We went on a Saturday night, and it got really loud at 7:00 with dance music...so loud we could barely talk to each other. It made it less enjoyable and we didn't hang around for dessert and coffee. We've been during the week and it's much more enjoyable.

Amazing sushi in a really cool rooftop location. The fish was super fresh and flavorful. The mystery box was an outstanding combination of sashimi and sauces. The service was excellent.

Food is always phenomenal, but food service can lack sometimes. Long waits for drinks and orders sometimes, however, food comes out quickly.
