Ambiance was great; it's a perfect place to go for a special occasion. Food was mediocre to my taste tho

You guys, this place is awesome! Our party of 6 tried several things from the menu and everything was fantastic. Our bottle of sake was awesome and so was the service. This is a cozy romantic darkly lit space that you should definitely try! Nadia was our server and her recommendations were on point. We can't wait to come back for date night! Be prepared to drop some $$$$ but it's worth it!

As you know my review my experience. My hubby and I decided to have a quiet night and something light for dinner. We had read the reviews and decided to try this place. The ambiance was really great. It's a little dark for some but for us it was just right. The service was spot on. All the servers were really nice and super friendly. We ordered the edamame and a baked salmon roll. It was a bit late and we don't like going to bed on a full stomach so this was just right for us. I was not amazed by the food. It was expecting a little more flavor from this location since it seemed that everyone else was making a big hype about it. Honestly I've had much better luck at other Japanese restaurants. The edamame had so much garlic but you really couldn't taste it. The baked salmon roll was just okay. I don't think that what the waitress did with her torch light made any difference in the salmon baked roll but it made for a wow effect. Maybe for show, who knows. The prices are a bit high so I may be skipping this place. Crossed off my list and wish them luck.

Overpriced mediocre sushi place. The blue fin tartar was okay, but wagyu tartar was ? not wagyu. It was colorless and bland. I tried the place before and gave me a second chance to see if I missed anything but No. There won't be 3rd time..

I recently visited Kaviar restaurant and I am still in awe of the amazing food and ambiance. First we walked in and we're greeted by the most welcoming staff. We got seated immediately! And from there forward the food came out almost in no time and just had the most amazing time, food and beautiful sushi spot can't wait to go back.

Beautiful decor, nice high end sushi options. Nice looking drinks. Great service as well. I like the sushi with the gold flakes and truffle oil.

We had the most amazing anniversary dinner here. Our waiter, Hayden was so attentive, super kind, and just superb. Nothing but good things to say about him. The food as well was top notch, every bite melted in our mouths. Will always come back here for our special dates. Thank you Kaviar for a great experience.

Lovely place for a date, Birthday celebration, or even a hangout. The lovely staff gave the pleasure of going out of their way to provide a good ending to my birthday celebration. Food is unlike any other, food melts like butter in ur mouth, weightless making you crave more.

My husband and I went out for our weekly date night last weekend and had such a lovely experience at Kaviar. The atmosphere had great vibes, the service was top notch and the food didn't disappoint. We especially loved the coconut mango roll and the Wagu tacos were delicious as well. Aside from the wonderful food I have to say I loved the courtyard entry way up the stairs to the restaurant with the hanging ivy and string lights. We will definitely be back!

I really hate having to write this review but it was such a bad experience I was quite embarrassed having this place be our post- court wedding dinner. We originally planned for Fogo De Chao down the street but decided on KAVIAR due to the ambiance and the fact that it was sushi - one of my favorites. Well, the ambiance was great and while our servers were very friendly (hence the additional star), everything else was a disaster. We ordered edamame, shishito peppers, about 4 or 5 sushi rolls, the wagyu tacos, scallops, ramen and some dessert. The sushi rolls all tasted the same and had very dry and overfilled rice. The wagyu taco flavors did not pair well together and the ramen came almost an hour after everything else. After spending over $500 everyone at the table was still hungry and sadly disappointed. The server ended up giving us a $50 gift card (assuming for the long wait for ramen) but sadly we will not be coming back. Not sure how this place has such high ratings as there are tons of sushi spots that are way more flavorful and decently priced. We don't mind spending the money, especially when it comes to special occasions, but if you charge a high price point, the quality and flavor needs to match that as well.

Dining at Kaviar is easily one of the best experiences you can have at any restaurant. Ranging from the exquisite options on the menu, to the 5 star customer service from their servers, Kaviar exceeds all expectations. Thank you to the assistant manager Clayton and his team for always giving me the best experience possible!

Food was absolutely garbage. An extremely dated and boring menu. Baked green mussels - tiny and tasty overcooked. Tempura platter - they didn't have it. Japanese Uni sushi - they didn't have it. Salmon sushi - not fresh and meager portions. Miso soup - solid. Spicy tuna roll - you can find bigger portions at a market. Uni pasta - barely used any Uni in the sauce. And the Uni on top was old. This place is grossly overpriced and the quality of the food is a 4 out of 10 at best. The only redeeming quality was the positive customer service. Do better guys!
