An absolute top-tier dining experience! From start to finish, everything was incredible. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and well-paced. The cocktail program is very impressive, featuring creative and perfectly balanced drinks. Every dish we ordered was delicious, but the star of the night was hands-down the branzino. It is easily one of the top three branzinos I've ever had in my life--the texture and flavor were perfectly executed. If you're looking for fantastic food, great vibes, and exceptional service, this place is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food, the service by Kenneth to guide us through the menu and the ambiance were all 5 star. We had 4 "tapas" and two entrees and had a bit too much food. But I would not have ordered less. Started with the two cold tapas - green tartare and the scallops crudo. I was surprised how much I liked the tartare. All of the flavors melded perfectly. I could have bathed in the lemongrass and lime forward sauce on the scallops. The Brussels sprouts, which I would have thought was overdone in restaurants was amazing. And the Bravas Potatoes, as expected, were amazing with the Calabrian chili dip. The two entrees were also outstanding. The saffron risotto, with the perfectly cooked seafood, was excellent. The sauces on the special Picanha were mind blowing. This is a vacation for me and off the strip dining is a better experience. I thought the price to value relationship was superior to anyplace on the strip. read more

Anima by EDO is one of those restaurants that keeps raising the bar every time I visit. I've been here several times, and somehow each experience is better than the last. The atmosphere is everything I want in a neighborhood restaurant... warm, inviting, lively, and effortlessly cool. Over the years, I've worked my way through quite a bit of the menu, and there honestly hasn't been a single miss. The Green Tartare is one of my favorites, the oysters are always incredibly fresh, and the scallops are delicate, balanced, and absolutely delicious. The bravas potatoes are addictive (it's easy to see why they were voted the best fries in Nevada), and the sprouted cauliflower is must order for me every single time. For mains, we had the Whole Mediterranean Dorade and the Braised Short Rib. Both were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. And of course, there's always room for dessert. The flan was creamy and delicious, while the Chocolate Cremoso with flaky sea salt was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The staff is always warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell there's a lot of pride behind what they do, and it shows. Anima by EDO is a gem, and I can't wait to go back (again)! read more

We came here for a large birthday party for a friend and had an absolutely lovely time. Every aspect of service was exceptional. From the moment we walked in (and we were a large group so it was multiple people arriving at different times) the hostess was attentive and hospitable in ensuring everyone was cozy and welcomed appropriately. Our glasses stayed full, adult beverages came out swiftly and food came out in a perfect cadence - a feat that can be challenging with a large group. The food was exquisite. Every bite had a stylish presentation that was inviting and seductive, and i thoroughly enjoyed each course from presentation to detail to taste. It was such a memorable evening with friends and the experience and phenomenal cuisine made it ever so enjoyable. read more

We already loved their other spots, so we had to pull up and try this one. We went straight for the chefs menu and it did not disappoint. To start the beers were amazing, n the appetizer was literal perfection out of this world .Everything that followed was a hit, and even though we were full, we had to try the tiramisu. It's different from your usual tiramisu but SO good and a total must try. read more

Brought over by Instagram with excited expectations. Left pretty disappointed for the quality of food, off putting service, and price. * Potato bravas (3/5) - tasty fried crispy layers, would have preferred a more acidic sauce since it's already deep fried with oil * Dorade (4/5) - tender, not as vibrant and acidic in flavor * Saffron risotto (3/5) - a little too mushy, very muted saffron flavor * Scallop crudo (2/5) - not sweet, coconut milk fat covers a lot of the flavor, small. Would not recommend Paid $140 (before tip) for 4 dishes and 2 alcohol drinks. Our waitress was pushy having us order drinks, also gave the vibe she didn't want to be/work there, just there for tips. I can only wonder, maybe this place was better in the past. Feels more like a money grab than passion. We won't be back. read more

My group of three came here on a Tuesday on an early evening. The first thing that is immediately evident is the service. Everyone there will welcome you and your glass of water will always stay full. Inside is a nice restaurant but not too upscale where it seems unapproachable. The food is all truly unique- not what people eat on a day-to-day basis. It's definitely a specialty restaurant that way. I truly enjoyed the food and the dining experience. read more

I was really excited for this one because we had heard so much about it, but it was pretty disappointing. We made reservations about a month ahead on OpenTable and noted it was our anniversary. When we checked in, there was no acknowledgement (usually we get a "congratulations") and they also wanted to seat us a table that was right next to the bussing station and sequestered from the main dining room. It was a Thursday night, so it wasn't busy and there were a ton of open tables, so I'm not sure why this was chosen. We had to proactively ask to be moved. We ordered the tasting menu and it was... different. It felt like those experimental dishes that want to be different for the sake of being different, but it didn't necessarily work taste-wise. Service was also kind of weird - the waiter didn't seem too welcoming and there were times we were still working on a plate and it felt like we were being rushed to finish despite the restaurant not even being full. read more

WOW! The new lunch set is amazing! The value, the options, and the quality make it definitely one of the best lunch sets you can get in town. It's been a while since I've been here, and I came specifically to try their new lunch menu that started about three weeks ago. So glad I did! This spot is perfect for lunch with friends, business meetings, or even a solo lunch break. It wasn't busy on a Monday when we went, and I don't think many people know they're open for lunch now. There was only one person running the front but he was attentive and friendly. I ordered the Harissa Beets Salad and Picanha with Frites. The only note I have is that I wish the fries were a bit crispier, but other than that, everything was 10/10. Definitely check them out for their new lunch sets. I'll be back for sure! read more

Anima By Edo is a creative chef driven sort of New American Restaurant and Bar located in the Gramercy. Inside is a bar area, a counter area, half booths, and traditional tables to sit at. I heard that they just started offering a Monday-Friday two course lunch for $25. and we were somewhat near to the area at the time so we had to give it a try and we are glad we did. Our first courses were - 30 day dry aged strip loin carpaccio on top of crisp hollow puri bread that was stuffed with cheese foam and topped with a truffle vinaigrette. Our other plate was the Dealer's Choice salad. It contained a BUNCH of fancy produce, peaches, pistachios, bread, bitter greens, and something cheese. The produce was much fancier and much fresher than what I can buy at any market near me. Our mains were - Rigatoni Amatriciana (belly bacon ends, sun-dried tomato pomodoro) and Salmon a la Plancha. Both dishes were just so and amazing. The salmon was particularly masterfully prepared. Not only a moist medium center but also crispy seasoned skin that tastes like a yummy potato chip. Service was very good. Even our silver was changed for the second course but not perfect. We weren't asked if we wanted a beverage. Also when we were done the server just said do you want anything else. I only noticed one server on and maybe that is why he didn't bother to ask if we wanted beverages besides water? Also I am not certain if dessert is an optional add on during lunch time? Closer to 5 stars than 4 stars. The food we tried was solid enough that I feel I can give 5 stars. read more

had a great experience at this restaurant! Was greeted upon entering, host and waiter were nice, friendly, and attentive. Appetizers: - ricotta/oil dip with bread: bread was good, but the dip was okay, it could use more seasoning that was put on as a topping - oysters: must have! - scallops: not bad but I prefer the oysters - sweet potato: nice balance of flavors - cod: cooked perfectly - steak and frites: medium rare is the way to go! Nice place for a date night. Would definitely be back! read more

Food was delicious. Portions of appetizers were small tapas. Entrees were sufficient. Still water was great, served chilled, at no cost. Lots of seafood on the menu. Hands down the best service I have ever had at a restaurant in my entire life. That made our night. They kept our water full, stated every dish as they were brought out, cater to all our needs. The only item I ordered that I didn't love was the wedge salad. It just had too much of the pickled items for my taste. Everything else was delicious The decor was great, the ambiance was impeccable, great lighting, table room was fantastic and very spacious, the actual tables were also very nice and high quality. A great experience! read more

Went for lunch on a Friday. Started with the Bravas Potatoes, Green Tartare, the Dealers Choice salad, and the wedge salad. All were fantastic. The salad dressings were seasoned well and the Bravas Potatoes came with a wonderful sauce. For entrees we had the Anima Meatballs, Pichana and Frites, Malfaldine Carbonara, and Salmon La Plancha. Again, all came out hot and were seasoned very nicely. The salmon was slightly overcooked, but still delicious. The Carbonara was outstanding. Had the chocolate fudge dessert and the Pistachio Tiramisu. The tiramisu was absolutely delicious, and the fudge was great too, but would choose the pistachio tiramisu over the fudge. It was memorable. Our server Christian was fantastic. Personable, kind, engaging, and made sure we were well taken care of. We had an amazing experience, and my group is looking forward to returning to Anima to experience the dinner menu. read more

Outstanding dinner experience for my wedding anniversary. My husband & I opted for the "Anima Experience" pre-fixe menu at $80 PP. it was 8-course gourmet menu. Everything on the menu was delicious & well-seasoned. I chose the braised short rib atop of creamy mashed potatoes (see picture) as my meat course - it was so tender & comforting! My hubby paid extra $30 to upgrade his meat course to the flat iron steak, which was phenomenal! Our toddler son loved the Bravas potatoes - super crispy & full of umami. He also had the buttered rigatoni pasta with grated Parmesan cheese . My favorite course was the "Seada," which was sweet potato & mozzarella cheese filled ravioli, topped with hot honey. The staffs were friendly & sociable. As always, the restaurant is clean, spacious & inviting. read more

Delicious! Service was kind & attentive. Restaurant is beautiful. Came in on a weeknight & this spot did not disappoint. Ordered for 2 people what I felt was the perfect amount. - Bravas potatoes: love the layers of potato & dipping sauce - Peruvian scallops crudo: fresh, light & tangy - Truffle cavatelli: my favorite of the meal, bone marrow was carved out table side & mixed into the pasta, I can imagines it may be a little salty for some people though - Pan roasted cod: my husband's absolute favorite in town, so fresh and buttery!

One of my favorite date night spots. My boyfriend set up reservations for us recently as we haven't dined here in a while and I also never left a review before! I love their tasting menu experience for only $80/PP and Paulo who is their wine expert also provides great pairing to the tasting menu. Our waiter was Anthony and he has served us in the past and always gives us a 10/10 experience! The food and presentation speaks for itself. It is also fun to share and be able to try new things. My favorite item was hands down the Harissa Beet and Carrot Salad. Something so simple with so much flavor. We did some of the supplements and definitely worth it for the full experience. read more

Wanted to dine off strip while we were in town visiting. So glad we stumbled upon Anima! The food was exceptional. The restaurant was flexible, allowing us to order a pasta dish off their chef's pre fixe menu as we also ordered à la carte. We started with oysters topped with granita and smoked soy sauce. Flavor bomb! So good! We also had the cacio e pepe croquetas topped with egg yolk. Really decadent and good. The rigatoni amatriciana was unbelievably good. The pasta had the perfect chew, and the taste of bacon was forward and smoky. The sprouted cauliflower was something we have never had before. The garlic confit and sauce was perfectly balanced with right amount of acid. The braised short ribs were delicious, tender and velvety. The potatoes either the short ribs were a highlight for us. Cocktails were unique and also really tasty. Our server Andrew was so helpful and a joy to chat with. The restaurant is beautiful with perfect lighting, great ambiance for a date night. Highly recommend! Restaurant was about 15 minutes off strip, easy uber/lyft ride and way less pretentious than other fancy date night spots on the strip. read more

We have eaten at EDO before and really enjoyed ourselves, so we decided to go to Anima to say bon voyage to friends who are moving to Spain. Thought this was the best place for that occasion. First of all, it was challenging to find where Anima is in this business complex. We went around at least two times, and finally saw a door with the name Anima on it, and that was the back entrance. Where was the front? They have brightly lit tables outside, but the signage for Anima was not that prominent, so we missed it. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a very friendly man who instantly engaged us in conversation, welcomed us with a big smile and led us to our table. Our server also introduced himself, and recommended that we try the tasting menu. We were game for everything, so we did. He was very attentitve, and we never had to look for him. All the other people were also on the ball in clearing the table, setting new plates and silverware. Anima has a fabulous wine selection. And in retrospect, we should have gone ahead and ordered a bottle for the two wine drinkers because we ended up having two glasses of wine each, when we could have enjoyed a whole bottle instead. The very impressive tasting menu changes from time to time, but we really liked this one. Everything was really tasty. I don't have to describe each item, suffice it to say that this was a delicious meal. What we had: * Duo of Bites - pear green grapes, marcona almond, aged carpaccios, papaya cheese espuma, truffle vinaigrette * Harissa Beet and Carrot Salad, spiced yogurt, arugula quinoa * Seada - sweet potato & mozzarella filling , honey soy glaze * Pumpkin agnolotti - honey nut butter sage, hazelnut crumb * Rigatonia Amatriciana - with tender belly bacon, jamon, tomato pecan * Wagyu flat iron steak * Pan roassted cod * Braised short rib * creme brulee Because this was a tasting menu, each dish was small. If one fancies a heartier portion, then order a main course instead. As it was, because of the variety of things we ate, we were actually quite sated. Word of caution: This was a pricey dinner for three adults and a 7-year old. But there was something each one of us truly enjoyed. It was worth it for a fine dinner with great conversation. read more

Amazing service first and foremost. Food delicious and creative. Drinks were too notch.

One of the best meals I've had this year! Visiting from out of town and my parents recommended. Service was amazing from the minute we walked in, the table in front of us was running long so they set us up at the bar with champagne. Once seated we ordered cocktails (delicious) and asked some questions about the menu. We had the lobster crostini, green tartare, caviar and eggs, the cavatelli, and the pluma. The green tartare was one of the most surprising dishes I've ever had - absolutely delicious. Everything else was amazing. The restaurant gives a great romantic feel and the larger tables seemed perfect for a group dinner. read more

We booked a nice dinner off the strip and we had some amazing bites ! Enjoyed the vibe there and service was really good! Here are things we ordered Drinks; Double agent - definitely hit a unique taste. I love blue cheese but I think the gin wasnt it for me. The olive in it was super delicious Cats pajamas- what our server recommended after I asked for a drink w/o gin. It had a strong guava flavor and was delicious Food; Scallop crudo - good but I felt the tom kha sauce overpowered the delicate scallop. Still tasty Strip loin carpaccio- my favorite appetizer. Delicious carpaccio served on a crunchy vessel of a puri bread filled with cheese. I wanted a few more Bravas potatoes - good but definitely eat fresh! Malfadine - super delicious and loved how the sauce coated all the noodles Dorade- this was also super delicious and even though we were full we finished it all. Loved the sauce on top which paired nicely with the fish Flan - this was ok. We liked the ice cream but wish the flan was softer. read more

We had a wonderful meal at Anima by EDO. A few of us had been to EDO in the past and were impressed by the food and service there, but Anima was even better in every way. Julio was our server and Paolo was our sommelier, and they both exemplified quality restaurant service. They were patient with explaining things and with answering our questions. The food was fantastic. Julio was helpful with recommendations and making sure that we didn't order too much. The highlights of our meal were: cacio e pepe croquettes, patatas bravas (this was the best potato dish I've ever had), Peruvian scallops, foie gras terrine, ricotta gnocchi, truffle cavatelli, and lobster crostini. The desserts were awesome as well, definitely order those. Their wine list was insane as well, one of the best we've ever seen. It was especially great hearing Paolo give us a deep background of the wine, which got us ready to drink. Thank you, Julio and Paolo, for the wonderful service and meal. I would make a trip to Vegas just to try this restaurant. read more

Wow--where do I even begin? Anima by Edo was an unexpected and delightful surprise. We were simply looking for somewhere local and new to try, and while we had read some positive reviews, I've always believed that dining is deeply personal. No matter what the reviews say, I prefer to experience a place for myself. And let me tell you, we were thoroughly impressed. Anima by Edo is a Gastro Tapas & Wine concept inspired by Catalonia, Italy, and the Mediterranean, conveniently located at The Gramercy near Summerlin. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt thoughtful and elevated. Let's start with the service. We were greeted immediately by a warm, welcoming host, and since we had reservations, we were seated right away. Our server and the assisting staff were exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive without ever hovering. Their recommendations were spot on, and the pacing of the service was flawless. The décor is chic and inviting, with a beautiful mix of tables and plush red leather booths. The lighting is just right, soft and flattering, complemented by striking wall art, a cool exposed wine cellar, and even a private dining room for more intimate gatherings. It's stylish yet comfortable, the kind of place where you instantly want to linger. Another pleasant surprise: the pricing. Both the food and cocktails are very reasonable, especially compared to the inflated prices you often find on the Strip. To stay within the Spanish theme, I ordered the Rosé Sangria, made with orange, apple, brandy, elderflower, and triple sec. It was fantastic, perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. For starters, we shared the Catalan Olive Oil Bread. You can choose up to six different toppings, and we selected the Manchego and Tomato Fresca. Absolute perfection. The sweetness and freshness of the tomato paired with the richness of the Manchego was simply dreamy. Also the Bravas Potatoes Crispy layered potatoes, with a traditional Brava sauce. Excellent. We followed that with the Green Tartare, made with zucchini, avocado, green bell pepper, and a pistachio vinaigrette. Heavenly doesn't even begin to describe it, the flavors were vibrant, delicate, and beautifully balanced. Pure perfection and my favorite. For our mains, we tried the Paccheri Puttanesca with tomato, roasted eggplant, zucchini, olives, and capers, bold, comforting, and full of depth. We also ordered the Rigatoni with kale pesto, honey walnuts, and creamy burrata. That combination of savory pesto with the subtle sweetness of the honey walnuts was unforgettable. Every bite was better than the last. And yes, the food here is absolutely worth every penny. For dessert, we indulged in a chocolate creation (sadly, the name escapes me), but it was divine, a creamy, luscious concoction served with delicate, cracker-like elements that melted in your mouth. Completely decadent and utterly mouthwatering. Anima by Edo was outstanding from every angle, service, ambiance, food, and value. If I could rate it higher than a five, I would. This place deserves a ten... or even a hundred. It's a definite repeat for us, and without question, it's going into our regular dining rotation. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I don't say this lightly--this was hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! My partner and I decided to check out Anima after seeing their Instagram ad for the Monday special: two pastas and a bottle of wine for $65. Lucky for us, it was a Monday! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The host greeted us warmly, and the cozy, dimly lit ambiance set the perfect mood. We were seated quickly, with waters and menus brought right away. We started with the bread topped with tomato and manchego cheese ($13). The portion was generous, four hearty slices, and letting the cheese come to room temperature made it even better. Absolutely delicious! For the special, you choose between red, white, or rosé. We went with the red, and it was honestly one of the better wines I've had in a while. They also give you small plates to share the pastas, which was a nice touch. We ordered the Rigatoni Amatriciana and the Mafaldine--both cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and incredibly satisfying. Every bite made me want to come back and try the rest of the menu (especially their $89 tasting menu!). The service was just as impressive as the food. Our server, Giulio, was attentive, charismatic, and helpful. Paulo, the Sommelier, took time to explain the wines in detail and was both knowledgeable and personable. Edita, another server, was also wonderful. What stood out most was how the whole team worked together--refilling waters, clearing plates, and even sparking small, genuine conversations, regardless of whose table it was. That level of care really makes a difference. I also loved the little touches--like how someone always topped off your wine glass before it ran low. Small gestures like that make the experience feel special. Another thing I noticed: hardly anyone was on their phones. To me, that says the food and atmosphere were so good that people truly wanted to be present and enjoy it. Overall, I'm officially in love with Anima and can't wait to come back! read more

We were celebrating me getting a new job, so we decided to knock Anima by EDO off our "to try" list. We walked into the back entrance and made our way to the host stand. This was super easy and the people working here were very friendly about it, I'm assuming it happens a lot, since this is where the parking lot is. The host was super friendly and sat us right away. She was engaging and excited for us. She even came by later to ask us how our experience was (maybe she was a manager as well?) The place is gorgeous, with fun paintings and nice furniture. It feels like a nice place to get dressed up to visit, but you can also be dressed pretty casually. The service was amazing. We wanted for nothing and were treated so well. They seem to truly care about cultivating memories and relationships here and I am all about that. They even sent me out a free dessert with a candle in it for our celebration, which they didn't need to do, which I loved and really appreciated. The cocktail program here is fantastic. My husband even said one of the cocktails was probably one of the best he's ever had in his life (if you can, try the Monte-Python and the Holy Grail.) I loved every drink I had, amazing! The food is pretty darn good as well. I was super impressed by the selection, even with a smaller menu. The presentation was excellent and it's priced fairly for the amount of food you get. Shoutout to their short ribs. I'd suggest this to anyone. read more

I've been to Anima by EDO twice now, and overall it's a great spot, with some real highs and a few inconsistencies. The absolute standout is the mafaldine pasta--that dish is a straight-up 5/5. Incredible texture with just the right lightness and bite, showcasing fresh pasta at its best. The ragù is beautifully balanced: rich and comforting without being heavy or overpowering. A dish I'll come back for on its own. My wife who is not a red sauce fan couldn't stop eating it. Another must-order is their take on patatas bravas, which is honestly outstanding. Layered scalloped potatoes, baked, pressed, then deep-fried--the result is unreal. Crispy exterior, tender interior, perfectly seasoned, and paired with a side sauce that ties everything together. Flavor, texture, execution... wow. The gnocchi, however, were a bit disappointing and ultimately brought my overall score down. While the sauce was excellent--especially the mushrooms--the gnocchi themselves felt dense, possibly overworked, and lacked that pillowy quality you hope for. That said, huge credit to our bartender/waiter Justin, who didn't want us leaving with a bad taste and comped the dish. Great dude, great service. Drinks are another bright spot. The mocktail with the unforgettable name "Strong Like Crab" is genuinely fantastic--creative, balanced, and memorable even without alcohol. We ordered the scallop crudo on both visits. The tom kha-inspired flavors really shine, but the first visit was noticeably better than the second, pointing to a bit of inconsistency. All in all, Anima by EDO delivers some truly excellent dishes, especially when it hits its stride. With a bit more consistency, it could easily creep into 5-star territory. I'll definitely be back--mafaldine (and patatas bravas) cravings are already calling. read more

Anima was such a great experience! We wanted to stop in for lunch as we saw they had a fantastic lunch special going on and we had to experience it ourselves! Food: We enjoyed all the food we had there! We had the lunch prefix menu which is $25 per person. You get an appetizer and entree! Which is such a great value add! We ordered the caprese salad which tasted so fresh with the heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese! The flavors for sure hit the spot! We also had the 30 day dry aged striploin carpaccio which was the highlight of our meal! I typically don't like carpaccio but this was so flavorful and the meat was cut thinly it didn't have a weird texture! It sat on puri bread which was a great accompaniment to the carpaccio! Would totally come back for that! We then had the picanha and fries and that was absolutely delicious! The meat was perfectly cooked and tender and seasoned to perfection! And lastly they brought some flan by and lemon ice cream! Which was so creamy and lemony and just the right amount of sweetness! So so good! Honestly I'm so excited to come back for dinner and enjoy what offerings they have then! Service: The staff were all so friendly! I appreciate when we walked into the restaurant that everyone said hello to us. It made us feel very welcomed! Our server was also very friendly. He gave great recommendations and was very personable during our meal! He also made sure our water was always filled! Ambiance: I would say it was very sophisticated, intimate and romantic all in one, but could also be a great place to have a business meeting or have a great meal with friends. It feels very smart elegant! So a lunch date was perfect! It wasn't too loud but also not too quiet. I appreciated all the decor they have in the restaurant l. It very much had a stylish decor with soft lighting which I really enjoyed! read more

This place was recommended to us by a good friend. A bit off the beaten path from the strip, but well worth the Uber ride. The locale is very quaint, well decorated and welcoming. The cocktail list is expansive with some very interesting combinations. I had a Mezcal based cocktail, which was probably the best Mezcal combo ever. The wine list is also excellent with varietals from Italy, Greece, and Spain. The wine server was from Italy, charming and very knowledgeable. We opted for the tasting menu, which gave us a variety of Italian and Spanish innovative dishes. Our favorites were the gazpacho and the rigatoni. The short rib, one of the best I've ever tasted. Dessert was pineapple, crème brûlée, very well-made. All the dishes are very well portioned with a great pace to make and enjoyable food experience. Highly recommend this hidden gem on your next trip to Vegas read more

If might have been that everyone seemed to show up at 6pm like us, the restaurant was empty, and then everyone seemed to come at exactly the same time, and because of that service was really, really slow. We had finished two of our courses by the time we got our drinks. The restaurant is interesting. It reminds you of a remodeled sushi bar. The food was all decent but really small portions and nothing that was wow. Interesting take on carpaccio and delicious brussels sprouts. The cod was a bit fishy. I don't know if we would come back. read more
