    Sit at the sushi bar to chat with the chef, and absolutely be sure to order the toro sashimi.

    Been coming here for over a decade, usually great service and amazing food. Was just in for lunch last week for lunch and my wator was the best, amazing food and hand crafted drinks. In 10+ years have never had a bad experience until tonight, my waitress was rude and told me they no longer make special request drinks that aren’t on the menu. I have been going here 2-3 times a month for a decade, always order a lemon drop with free filet. She told me they don’t make drinks off the menu anymore, poor service, poor attitude and refused to make a drink they had all the ingredients before and I have been getting for years. Quality of food, drinks and staff have definitely declined. I miss the old wait staff, this use to be one of my favorites but all the good staff had left. Very unfortunate.
