I liked how the grapefruit complemented the hamachi sashimi plate. Never seen that before.

Food so ono! Everything was delicious! We had the Eggplant, Lobster pasta, Scallops, & Beets. I never thought I'd be a Beet fan, but I couldn't get enough! I'll be back!*they have the option to order from your smartphone. Personally I don't like that, but it is efficient AND the staff is happy to take your order the good old fashioned way.

We went here on a Saturday for a late lunch, the three of us. At that point, the restaurant was still lively, and staff welcomed us with kindness.The menu is presented kind of strangely, all on your phone via a QR code, though the drinks menu is printed. It’s an interesting ordering process, either through the menu website, or with your server. Yes, thankfully, there are human being servers.Drinks, including the Ancho Chili cocktail, are well thought out, though the wine list was a bit unremarkable. Mostly large producers and big brand names. The food, however, spectacular. My pork belly congee was full of ginger taste and layered but subtle aromas. The raw egg on top, the salmon eggs, and the plate with the banchan, which included the pork belly itself with its savoury-sweet glaze, we’re all delicious. The chilli crunch, which came in a separate little dish, was also fun. And no, those are not that’s puffed rice, not little insects, that too, would be delicious. My friends loved their shrimp Benedict, the fried chicken, the tofu, and we all enjoyed the sushi.Overall, definitely recommended for large or small groups, or private parties. A nice blend of casual and classy.Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to requests for toppings and such to be left off of dishesParking: Dirt lot

This is an excellent restaurant, it's low key but has lofty standards for food quality and service. The servers are cheerful and attentive. The cod and lobster pasta were outstanding. The soft shell crab roll was delicious. No pretensions - just great food at a good price.

Excellent experience! Food was fantastic, service was outstanding. 5 stars on everything. My husband and I came here for date night and I'm so glad we did. Thank you to all of the staff.

We enjoyed the food here very much. Lots of vegetarian options, and tasty fusion items. Our favorite was the Day Boat Scallop and the Crispy Pork Belly. The izakaya type of meal means that we can share the tasty tapas! Love it that they show case all the local farms that they use in their recipes.

We were a party of 5 for lunch and all the dishes were delicious and portions sizes were great. The only thing that would make it better would be regular menus instead of using Toast tab for orders. It was a business lunch and it was hard for each person to look at their phone and order using one tab. Other than that, excellent

What a gem! Service (David/Eric), Food, ambience all excellent. It is quite a busy place and the staff kept up the pace. Am glad that we are all supporting "local". Michele

Amazing hospitality from when we walked through the door. Friendly staff. Warm and welcoming. Randy was great in guiding us through food allergy-safe dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to coming back!

This restaurant is listed as an izakaya sushi. There was one sushi roll that had 8 pieces for $25. We paid for our one roll, tipped the waitress, walked out, then ate at a real sushi spot GINZAS, which was infact amazing.

I see periodic changes to the menu. The food is consistently creative and delicious. The service is excellent. We sat at the bar and our server/bar tender is friendly and attentive despite juggling multiple responsibilities. Overall we had a great experience.

Thank you to the chef for giving us a taste of the shrimp pasta [not on the menu]. It was very good and very comparable to the the lobster pasta. We hope to see the shrimp pasta added to the menu. All of the dishes that we order were very good/
