Best sushi I've had in the area. Love the detail they give to each piece for the omakase experience. Cost was a bit pricey but worth every bite.

I used to go to Carrie Nation back when the legendary Frank worked there. I hadn’t been in a while and was delighted by the stellar hospitality. We were a group of 6 on a relatively quiet afternoon, and our server happened to be the bartender, whose drinks were fantastic. My friends and I agreed that it was a great hang and we will be returning
