Second time at this restaurant. Sushi was the best part. Food didn’t come out ALL at once (5pm reservation, so not busy) so we had that awkward moment when people want to eat, but not everyone has food so it feels wrong to start eating. Just
my upbringing. Kitchen/server should have timed things better. Biggest problem we had is that we were a party of 6 so they added gratuity to each party’s check, which is standard and ok. However, is NOT ok to NOT inform us straight away so one couple in the party almost double tipped until the wife asked what the “fee” was…just said FEE, not gratuity or service charge. So, confusion was caused and upset were feelings created with the servicer who seemed to be trying to get a double tip. Not Ok and we won’t be back for that kind of service. Too many great places to eat in the area. 😞

I visited this restaurant twice in my last 5 day vacation to anna maria a few months ago, i still think about it so much im literally leaving a review at 4 am cause i cant sleep and ive been thinking about the food i had BOTH times for like 20 minutes. It was incredible, i love my local japanese restaurants but wow does this one take the cake. I got steak (medium) and rice with their sushi roll both times i was there and the steak just absolutely melted in my mouth, it was maybe the best steaks i’ve had and i'm a big steak eater. Their service was awesome, everyone was so kind beginning to end. If you’re willing to spend a little buck for a date night i 100% recommend this place!! The outside seating’s view is incredible and the vibe is perfect for date night but also just as perfect for a family get together. The first night we were there we had a party of probably 10-12 and they handled everything amazingly, it wasn’t too long of a wait and again they were all so kind. The second night we went was date night and everything was just as incredible. again if you’re even thinking about going, go ahead and get in the car :)

Excellent restaurant. Reasonably priced, great service, ask for Frumi! It sits next to the water. We noticed some people driving in on pontoon boats to dine. Excellent views for a romantic evening.

Waited over 2 hours. Sushi was old. They seated us and didn't tell us that the wait would be over an hour and a half till we get any food.
Made us think food would be out quick because the drinks came quick. Waitress was very rude when we finally told her the sushi was not fresh , rice was pasty, tuna was very fishy .

You can clearly see how fresh the food is, the sushi was of great quality, the salmon was melting in your mouth, I recommend it.
