Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food is chefs kiss, I would describe it but it’s pointless you just need to come and try it."
  • "Easily some of the best prepared scallops either of us had had, they were buttery and melted in your mouth."
  • "The food is very good."
  • "Had a great batch of fish and chips here, along with an order of their crispy brusselsprouts."
  • "The Loaded Potatoes Soup was served warm, with real bacon crumbles and cheese."
  • "Food is amazing."
  • "The steak mozzarella with creamy garlic sauce is the best thing I've ever had."

Cons:

  • "Nice atmosphere, but I don't even know how you screw up sushi."
  • "The fried zucchini looked like something you would get from the frozen food section."
  • "Presentation on crab cakes was really good but the meal tasted average for the price and there was too much salt."
  • "The food was meh, soup of the day, Chicken Tortilla, a chicken wrap and chicken sandwich were all 'just OK'."
  • "The 'new england' clam chowder was pinkish and gloopy."
  • "The sushi was so bland and tasted way too fishy."
  • "The sushi was very poorly made."

Service

Pros:

  • "The service was decent it took a bit to get our drinks from the bar."
  • "First, the service was GREAT. Attentive without being intrusive."

  • "Service was attentive and quick!"
  • "Delicious food and perfect amount of attention from our waiter, Ashley."

Cons:

  • "The service is nice but they’re really slow, even on empty weekdays."
  • "The waiter was in a rush to get us out."
  • "The bartender was (unnecessarily) extremely rude and condescending."
  • "Good food but certainly not worth the expensive prices, especially for such poor service and management."
  • "Unfortunately, the service is totally hit or miss. Sometimes you'll get a great server, and your food will come out in a timely manner. Other times you'll get forgotten by the waitstaff and your food will take forever."
  • "Worst service ever, went to the outside bar recently which wasn’t crazy busy."
  • "The service was less than stellar. The waiter had little knowledge of the menu items."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Nice atmosphere, but I don't even know how you screw up sushi."
  • "Great atmosphere! A little slow in service."
  • "Great atmosphere, huge space and good potions."
  • "The place has a cool vibe."
  • "The atmosphere is nice both inside and outside."
  • "The atmosphere was very relaxed."

Cons:

  • "Loud atmosphere inside, not great for dinner conversation."
  • "We were seated right under a fan blasting on us the whole time."
  • "It’s more of a bar than a restaurant. I would suggest coming here only with the intention to buy drinks."
  • "One of the most racist places I've been to in this area."
  • "The food is yummy though I wish there were a few more entree choices as I am not a sushi person."
  • "Most of the high school girls who are hostess are very rude."
  • "But I was expecting to be seated in the front end of the restaurant where the ambiance is romantic with dim lighting, live music, etc- because after all, my husband my reservations well in advance. Instead, we were placed in the back of the restaurant, no ambient lighting, seated right next to the kitchen, it looks like a nice cafeteria - polar opposite from the front end of the restaurant, we digress."

Price

Pros:

  • "If you spend $200 on food at this place, trust me it worth every penny. The staffs are friendly, great service and amazing food."

Cons:

  • "Nice atmosphere, but I don't even know how you screw up sushi. First of all, you need a second mortgage on your house to afford sushi here."
  • "Good food but certainly not worth the expensive prices, especially for such poor service and management."
  • "The sushi is ok but the prices are way out of line."
  • "The prices for on the middle to expensive range."

Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "The cleanliness was better than other places, paper menus, napkins could've been cleaner."

Cons:

  • "Do not get me started on the condition of the floor. EXTREMELY dirty!!! Looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years."
