I really wanted this to be a 5 star experience. The food was unbelievable, the atmosphere is beautiful and classy. Sadly, our waitress was horrible. She didn't smile once even though we tried to engage her and be friendly. It was a birthday dinner and when we asked about how to split the bill it seemed to really stress her out. She cane back to out table before the end of the meal to discuss it and then had us pay before our dessert arrived. It felt lime She was trying to rush us out the door. I will go back but if I see she's working I'll ask to sit in a different section of the restaurant.

Hi Lisa, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a rating and provide us with some feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and our space! I am, however, equally sorry to hear about the lack of warmth you felt in our service. We host many special occasions and celebrations, which I think we usually do very well. I will follow up with the team to ensure we are not missing the mark when it comes to acknowledging guests' special moments. Warm regards, Victoria

Overall mediocre sushi, the Minami roll is truly bad and should be avoided at all cost, the highlight was the soft shell karaage and good cocktails. Server was great

Hi Nigel, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the service and select menu items! I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy our signature roll, the Minami roll. Do you have any further details you wouldn't mind sharing? It is usually very popular and well-liked, so I'd like to make sure it wasn't a quality control issue on this occasion. Kindly, Victoria

Sushi was very good. Presentation flat. Ambience lacks warmth. Surroundings felt outdated.

Wonderful place in the heart of the city! We celebrated the anniversary here and everything was amazing form start to finish! My personal fav was the duck and my husband enjoyed roasted wagyu striploin. Salmon crudo and oshi sushi were great too. The space and atmosphere were nice, and server was very attentive. Handwritten card for anniversary was a very nice touch. We will definitely be back!
