The evening was pleasant and the staff were knowledgeable, attentive and kind, which made the experience enjoyable. However, the omakase itself fell short for me. Toward the end, we were offered the “option” of repeating some favorites, but it wasn’t made clear that this would add extra charges. Desserts were also presented in a way that suggested multiple items, but only one arrived.
For nearly $1,000, I expected more transparency, larger sushi cuts and at least one dish that really left a lasting impression. Unfortunately, while everything was good, nothing stood out as a true “wow” moment.

They never did and now they are saying it is a misunderstanding and they are not willing to refund. Do not be fooled on the pictures and good reviews. This place should not be serving...
