We've eaten here on special occasions for a few years and they never disappoint. For our sons birthday this year, they gave us one of the Tatami rooms, very nice. Everything we had was delicious. Highly recommend the Kobe filet.

We went early: 5:30. Was able to breeze right in and out and had a lovely meal. The service is fantastic and the food is even better. It can get pricey quickly, but they serve high quality seafood and they don’t skimp on portions. It’s fair to charge a premium. Glad I went and will be back again.
