The food was great at a good value. We had the poke appetizer and macadamia crusted mahi mahi. Portions were generous and delicious. Our server (Vanessa) was top notch and highly attentive to us. We were celebrating our anniversary and a birthday together, and she made us feel special and appreciated, especially since we had a poor experience at a location in Newport Beach, California. I sincerely recommend this location and again, commend and thank Vanessa for a wonderful experience!
