    An employee stole a wallet of an individual on our reservation. The restaurant staff was not transparent about what happened whatsoever and it was completely inapproparite and disrespectful. When they found the wallet it was completely empty and they put a $20 bill in it as a consolation

    Service was excellent. Food mostly good. However the signature Miso Cod was disappointing. it was over cooked. dry and missing the Miso sauce. We should have sent it back. The rest of the food was excellent.

    Prompt and friendly check in and service. We’ve been coming for years but this was the first time we got seated in the adjacent bar area and liked it (hostess and server did confirm new seating was ok with us). Food delicious as always - we ordered all favorite specials from the menu such as crispy sprouts, yellowtail sashimi, spicy tuna on crispy rice and crab rolls. Great selection of yummy cocktails, nice music with correct volume, trendy vibe - highly recommend!

    There was some random 5% charge they added to the bill out of no where. It stated on the bill that you can ask to have it be removed. I asked the server if this went to him, he stated it did not and it went theaters management and staff that work more than 40 hours. Yeah, that’s not something that sat well with me after the insane prices they already charge. NOT OK! I don’t have my customers pay for employees. Neither should you. SBE!

    I would like to give the service 5 stars because they were very warm, knowledgeable, open to whatever we might request. Really pleasant and professional. The missing star is because there were some long stretches where we couldn't find anyone to bring us a second drink and they brought one person's entree about 5 minutes before the other person's entree without saying anything to us about this, and here I missed being able to catch a server's eye to ask what was going on until the other entree arrived. They probably didn't think of the two dishes as individual entrees rather than "family style" but it left me looking at my sushi for 5 minutes while waiting for my wife's meal. The food was excellent in general, the sushi was good, but not outstanding (in my uneducated opinion). The restaurant felt great and I kept saying I like it and want to come back.

    We sat outside and our service was excellent: pleasant evening. However, a homeless person came up to the bushes (we were in the second, middle patio area) and wanted food from us and there was no one from the restaurant watching. We ignored him and he spit at us. Luckily for us, the spit fell on the bushes and we did not make a fuss or even let anyone know at the restaurant as it did not ruin our evening. Although at the beginning we felt rushed (6:30 rez), as the evening passed, we were allowed to sit and there was no pressure. Restaurant ran out of lemon sorbet unfortunately.
