    Had a very nice dinner celebrating our wedding anniversary. Promptly seated at an outdoor table as requested with reservation. Waiter explained the menu thoroughly. Drinks were very good and prices on par, although the smoked old fashion was a bit pricey for the amount of actual drink that you got compared to a regular old fashion. We had the bang bang shrimp for app. New York strip and filet with frites for dinner. All were very good. Steaks cooked to temp that was requested. Would def recommend.

    Food comes out at different times times but all the steak dishes came out and 15 minutes later the tomato Barrada came out  and five minutes after that the rice bowl with shrimp came out. I would think that steak would take way longer than shrimp and tomatoes. Everybody was done eating by the time the last two meals came out.

    Food was terrible. Beyond awful. We sent back the salad appetizer because it had too much dressing and tasted sour. They were super nice about it even the manager came and apologized. We were shocked that literally everything that followed was actually worse. The meat has too much fat, the sushi quality was comparable to grocery store sushi. We obviously felt bad and didn’t complain again and just left A few pieces of the California we ordered (off menu) didn’t have crab meat. They were just rice wrapped in seaweed. Here’s how to know if this is tourist trap, they calculated tip based on the price POST tax.

    We were excited to have a nice Easter dinner, but the food was subpar. The floors were extremely slippery due to the humidity and I nearly bit it. Sushi was pretty mid. Drinks were awful.
