Best service I've ever had - anywhere. Hands down.

Dedicated gluten free facility (with the exception of some of their beers) and I was even asked as soon as I sat down if I had any allergies... so no worries there!

Tonight we ordered 4 rolls and a small bottle of sake. We were deliberating between two types of sake, and our waitress surprised us with a sample of the one we didn't order just to try a taste! Both were good and it was very sweet of her to do.

We were there to celebrate my partner's birthday, and we even got a free commemorative photo of the two of us along with a complimentary fruit platter.

Waitress also took initiative asking if we needed to validate our parking, which is something I often forget to ask about.

After our meal, we were served complimentary tea... and I'm usually not a tea person but this was very smooth and I ended up finishing it off.

Again, overall experience was amazing. Been here once before, and both times were absolutely delicious. As a vegetarian with celiac disease, it was nice being able to choose anything off the menu.

They are a little on the expensive side, but sushi usually is. I find that 2 rolls per person is a good amount, and their portion sizes are pretty standard.

Perfect date night spot... their location is a little small, so I recommend making a reservation first. A little sad to see this place doesn't have more reviews... This is a must visit for me whenever I'm in town!
