    I felt like our server forgot about us at a point in time when we needed things like waters, everything came out super fast so I recommend you to order drinks first and then wait before any appetizers, and then wait some more before you put in food for dinner. The music was very loud and super upbeat. I did enjoy the photographer in buying photos with my boyfriend and I. Definitely a great vibe before you go out clubbing downtown.

    Drink was good but I will say the food was no good at all. Very disappointing, been here a few times and I’ve enjoyed my dinner but this time around my sushi roll was not good at all.

    We ordered a Burrito and Shrimp Plate. The burrito came out within 5 minutes. The Shrimp Plate came out 30 minutes later. I was already finished with my Burrito. Would not go back on a busy day. I have been there many times and have had great service. Possibly understaffed during this holiday rush, but they should have coursed our meal properly and brought it out at the same time.
