    2120 was exceptional, service was top notch. They had a busy night, and still were prompt, and high class and courteous. One order was not what I anticipated (no fault of their own, I simply did not read the menu correctly) and without hesitation our server Justin took it upon himself to make the meal the way I had anticipated. Service was unmatched. I highly recommend 2120. Left singing praises of the entire staff. Spent a week traveling to top restaurants in Seattle, and from service alone, this place took the prize. Justin, thank you for giving us an incredible dining experience.

    Our dining experience exceeded our expectations. We each had different versions of the three-course option. The raw oysters were a revelation graced by a unique mignonette that was eminently sippable. The local sashimi albacore was rich and melted into the slightly bitter and mustard greens all tossed in a light sesame dressing. The sushi was all perfection. Chef Taichi treated us to a special Black Dragon Roll that was a revelation. Highly recommended.
