My son and I both became extremely sick not long after dining at this restaurant. The only thing we had in common was the sushi. We were excited to try it, but unfortunately, it led to a miserable experience. We’ve been dealing with food poisoning symptoms since eating here, and it has been awful.
I’m deeply disappointed and concerned about the food safety standards at this place. I would not recommend dining here, especially if you’re ordering sushi.
update review: I called the owner to let them know and she called me back that evening about this review screaming at me. I can't help that I got sick from their FOOD and left a negative review to warn others. it was very unprofessional- She had offered me a gift card which I never accepted or wanted in the first place because I will never come back after this. I know it was the food 100% because I gave my dogs scraps and they were sick also. I have spent so much money there in the past but the quality has declined over the years. I tried to do the right thing and make her aware of the situation. I truly believe she knew there was an issue with the items. owner was so rude I couldn't believe the phone call good thing I recorded the whole conversation-wouldnt let me get a word in at all. insane

We were visiting Ellijay and called in to ask if we needed to make reservations. It was a Saturday night, so I wanted to be sure. She told me she would put our name down, but we wouldn't need reservations. When we arrived, I gave my name and he confirmed reservations but said it'd be 30 or more minutes. I looked around and found the place almost empty. I asked why places had not been saved when we called in advance for reservations. He wasn't sure. While waiting, we noticed the health dept score of 81. I should have left at that point. We were seated after 20 minutes and then the craziness began. Our party of 4 agreed that we "ate in reverse." The scallops and shrimp were put on FIRST and completely tough by the time we got them. Steaks were cooked almost last. Mushrooms, that should have been with the steaks, were served when we were all finishing up. We spent time waving down the waitress to get refills and had to insist she remove salad and soup bowls to give us room to eat. Expensive meal to not have an enjoyable experience. We all left shaking our heads over this experience. I hate to give a negative review, but I hope to save others from this experience. Do NOT go.

We had our daughters 16th birthday here and they did a great job. We had to change our reservation time and they worked with us.

It's 5:50 on Valentine's Day. We had a 6 pm reservation. They told us it would be an hour before they could seat us.
We stated we had a reservation and the host shrugged his shoulders.
What's the point of having reservations if you're not going to honor them?
