Fabulous from beginning to end. Valena, with a strong support staff, made everything perfect.

I honestly couldn’t get past the strong sewage smell in there! They have to do something about that. It completely ruined the experience. Bummer because I was so excited to try it! Our service was wonderful and the food was good (just seemed a bit overpriced for what is was). Wouldn’t recommend coming back until they fix the smell.

We had the sushi. It was just okay. The fish was oddly warm and the texture didn’t really sit well with me. The service was excellent though. They seem to be trying to appeal to the 25-35 age range and it probably works for that.

I tried ceviche and it wasn’t fresh. I feel like they made it in the morning and were just storing in the fridge. $25 was too much for the food that wasn’t fresh enough. I’ll give this place another try, maybe it was just a wrong choice of the meal. The ambience was incredible though.

Music was way too loud for a restaurant. This establishment should decide if it's a restaurant or a club/bar. If the former, then people should be able to understand each other when they talk. Our waitress couldn't even understand us.

Slow service and high prices. Food was good but small portions.
