Chic and elegant barely touch the surface of the Pure dining experience. The inspired menu and beautiful atmosphere make a visit to this restaurant a true treat. The seafood is so fresh that it's easy to taste a hint of the ocean, with rare ingredients such as toro, uni, atama, and suzuki. The sashimi alone would be worth a visit, but the speciality sushi rolls take it over the top. The Angry Caterpillar roll, creamy baked lobster roll, Loch Ness roll and October Festival roll show off the creativity and skill of the team at the back of the house. This upscale restaurant is the kind of place that always makes it on the list for special occasions and other celebrations.
