We chose the main restaurant area which had options for tables and booths, and she gave us the brunch menu, which had a good options for lots of dishes. I ordered a macchiato which she told me was not like the ones you get at Starbucks. They are smaller and stronger, I appreciated the heads up. They have alternate milk options and I went with almond milk. For our meals, we ordered the Caesar salad, the brekkie sanga which was made on sourdough bread w bacon, egg, avo, cheese, tomato jam & herb mayo very delish! And finally the Genoa pizza with hot honey a must get! Very light and crispy! Would definitely go back to try some items on their dinner menu as well.

I've dined at this restaurant twice. Once for a work function and recently went again for dinner…read morewith my family. Oddly enough, I ordered the same dish and it's as if I had ordered two completely different things. The dish in question is the Branzino with Risotto, which I found to be perfectly cooked and served over their signature champagne risotto the first time around. I absolutely loved it and made it a point to come back with the family, so it's unfortunate that the experience wasn't the same this last time around. We ordered the croquetas, salmon sashimi, gnocchi, pear ravioli, the Branzino, and their version of tiramisu for dessert. The food wasn't bad but nothing was wow either, and for $200 it's hard to give more than an average rating when I could've gotten a much better meal for that price. The croquetas are good, but I feel like they're missing ham. It's an interesting flavor but not something I'd go out of my way for. The sashimi appetizer isn't actually sashimi and is over sauced. It's also a tiny portion with about six slices of fish. The Branzino entree tasted fine, but was also drowned in sauce where the first time I had it there was barely any sauce and the fish had a nice crust. I was raving about it to the wife prior to going, so when they served it I was immediately embarrassed. lol. The pear ravioli had good flavor, but could benefit from some figs or a crunch component. It would also be nice to get more than 5 ravioli. As for the gnocchi, it was actually very well prepared but needed a salty contrast. The description read prosciutto in the end otherwise I would've vetoed my son since he had never tried gnocchi, but it was a tiny bit of powder and not pieces of it like I expected. $28 is grossly overpriced for potato balls in cheese. Lastly we had their house tiramisu which had blueberry sauce for some reason. That seems to be a theme from what I saw is they look to throw odd flavors together without thought as to how they pair. Guava is a common theme on many dishes and they have some random looking dishes like the sashimi and a chicken teriyaki over risotto... Honestly, it's a very solid 3 but not somewhere I'd return unless invited. The service was excellent though! No complaints there. Honestly I would've given more than the 18% automatically applied despite the grossly inflated prices so I'm not sure why it's included for a party of 3.

For drinks we had the Thai Cucumber, light and refreshing and just the right kick to start the night. We had a Wakame salad, not on the menu but the chefs happily provided when I asked. Followed by two rolls the Crunchy Roll, and the Sunset Roll. The crunchy roll was delicious just the right amount of crunch and spice to melt in your mouth,and so fresh. The sunset roll was good, but make sure you like Fried Salmon Skin as its the predominant flavor of the roll. It's a cooked roll so it's not The service was great, fast and attentive. We will definitely be back

Spicy tuna roll looked and tasted like beat up tuna and the hamachi was drenched in soy sauce before getting plated on top of soy sauce and oil at the bottom. Why?! Waste of good fish or covering up bad fish taste? The only sushi roll that didn't have imitation crab or tempura shrimp was the Seattle amigo roll, but it was drenched in sweet sauce. 0/10 would not recommend anything we ordered if you enjoy good sushi...

The wait time was quick--under 5 minutes--on a saturday night and we were seated outside. We started with a fried seafood appetizer, which was enjoyable. For my main dish, I ordered the linguine alle vongole. Unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. Every bite contained noticeable sand, making the dish gritty and inedible. I asked for it to be removed from the bill and declined a replacement. The manager, Fabian, came over but did not seem very understanding or accommodating. Stating they always clean their clams and that he would see with the kitchen. While the dish was removed, the issue didn't feel properly acknowledged. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I likely will not return. I have been to many restaurants and asked for this same dish and never had to crunch on sand

As a bonus, we were told they have drink specials nearly every weeknight, and on Thursdays they offer 1/2 price bottles of wine. For those who appreciate quality wines that's significant, because there are some really good bottles listed on the menu here, and on Thursdays you can snag them for about the same price you'd pay for them in a retail shop. We chose to sit at the bar, they have a decent sized flat screen TV at the far end and were happy to show the game we wanted to see. The dinner menu is extensive, offering primarily Mediterranean cuisine and sushi, and there were several dishes listed that I'd have been happy to try. The cocktail list is also solid and they have an excellent mixologist on staff, who also has an obvious passion for wines. We ordered the hummus sampler with bread to start, which was excellent, and for my main course I had the filet mignon kebab and my husband the churrasco steak. Overall we had a great meal here: The food was good, cocktails were well-made, service was very attentive and prices were fair. The 1/2 price bottles of wine on Thursdays are an outstanding deal, especially for the higher-end selections. We'll be returning here for sure. Again, I'm just disappointed I hadn't found this place until now as the reviews on Yelp show it's been open for several years.

The rolls are very simple and i enjoyed that so much because you know they're not trying to cover up the taste of sub par food with sauces and deep fried oils.

The place itself is a bit small and i do wish the seats were more comfortable but the service was amazing! I felt bad because people were walking in AT closing time (some even 3 mins after) and they were still seating them.
