The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome.

“This is a hidden Gem and is the best sushi around in Belmar area. Better than Rice and Taka combined... Sunsets here are magic and the band music is EXTRA loud.. brings the kinda crowd we like. Not the Pinot Noir Jet set crowd but the locals that fish and get down and dirt. Best outdoor fun scene. This place is a twilight zone and easy to lose a few hours at . Food is ALWAYS GREAT!!!!“
