Everything was soo good! Really difficult to make a reservation - we went as soon as they opened. The green chili stew stole the show.

Cute date night spot with yummy food! Get the martini! The branzino was fantastic and the bread with butter was unexpectedly soo good.

The sushi and hand rolls are so good! The way they bring out the hand roll and you add the seaweed yourself, is a unique touch. They have some great saki options. It’s quaint, so perfect for a date or meeting a friend.
