We had a wonderful lunch here on the patio with our dog. Our server, Jose, was absolutely a joy. He made us laugh, we had fun conversation, he had great suggestions and was super accommodating. Our food was delicious. We will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful anniversary celebration! The food was fantastic, the nonalcoholic drinks were tasty, and they brought out an ice cream to share with a sparkler in it in celebration of our day. It was very nice, and the service was impeccable! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Had an excellent meal here, the fish was very fresh, and Rodrigo (our Sushi chef) personally took great care of us. He was engaging, took a proper pace to serve us, and delivered multiple courses of great nigiri. Our waitress kept checking in and brought our beverages promptly. Will definitely go back again.

This was an amazing place in both food and experience. The decorations were beautiful. The dim lights were perfect and the service was amazing. If I could, I would go here every week!

We had the best night. We wanted to go the first night on SD but did not have a reservation (You definitely need one). We booked one for a Monday. They did not disappoint. We originally had a table by the front window but there was a big party next to us. They asked us to move to another table to accommodate the party but in turn made up for it by buying us a drink and moved us to in my opinion a better area of the restaurant. The food was amazing and the service top tier. Jesus took great care of us. I definitely recommend and will come again for date night or girls night.
