    Arrived about 30 minutes ahead of my reservation, and everything went incredibly smoothly — they graciously let us in early. We received warm greetings throughout, and any concerns or requests were addressed promptly, usually within 10 minutes. The food was impressive. The chef’s choice sashimi (5 varieties) was exceptionally fresh. While the oysters were generally on the smaller side, they were very fresh and included selections from both the East and West Coasts. The drinks were delightful and thoughtfully crafted, and the desserts were equally enjoyable.
