Lamb pops are awesome. Drinks are awesome. Kinda felt like they were trying to have a club in the restaurant. Music was great, but u can't have an easy conversation over the music. Not sure why it's so loud. Great place otherwise.

Love the restaurant vibe and decore and music playing definitely nice place to grab a drink but food is over priced sushi roll for 30 dollars it’s insane and not impressive at all.

The sushi is exceptional, the drinks are good and the hostess seated us an hour before our reservation. A great date night, our third time here and we will return. Dennis
