If you're in the area and looking for the best sushi in the Upper Keys, this is it.

Our server was great, offering many specials & recommendations. We got the Candied Brussels sprouts with bacon- crunchy, sweet and addictive! Loved it. Got a bottle of reasonable Albariño. Next up our steamed lobster gyoyza with lobster bisque was good, but not that exciting. My Hot Girl Roll, with Spicy Tuna, cucumber, crab & crunchy bits on top, was delicious. My husband's Blue Marlin roll with tempura lobster, crab & fresh tuna on top was also good. We skipped dessert & finished our wine. It was a perfect Valentines dinner!

There is a cute cat which is very friendly and we tried to share some fish meat with the cat, even the cat didn't like the fish. Ironic.
