Ambiance is excellent, sushi was fantastic, seafood fettucinni was spectacular, however service was extremely slow. Servers were very pleasant but it took a very long time to get our food while the restaurant was only half full. It's a shame since the food is so good but this great experience was diminished by the long wait.

For a celebratory dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend after her graduation, it had something for everyone with good food, good service at reasonable prices.

Maybe it was unusual, but when I was there with my wife, it took an hour to receive a chicken club and some pastas... The waitress took a very long time before taking our order, during which time other guests arrived at their tables and got their order taken long before us. In the end, at least 3 other tables...

Picked this restaurant up on our GPS. What a pleasant surprize! Yes it is actually in an old firehouse built in 1893. The first thing you should try is the mondo caesars. Made with in house pickled green beans & steak spice. Try the "Sushizza" appetizer. Artfully displayed sushi done like a pizza...full of flavor. The jambalaya & seafood linguini... More

After driving by this place many times, we finally were referred to it by our mechanic who suggested we eat there while he repaired our car. We had no idea what to expect and were surprised by the sophisticated decor and the very tasty food. Unlike some of the other reviewers, we had excellent service and were well looked after,... More

They have a wide selection of scrumptious fusion sushi rolls and some of the dinner items are quite good as well. Most of the things I've ordered here pack a lot of flavour. Some of the rolls are pretty expensive, but the portions ate generous.

The serving portions are huge. You would never be left hungry. The sushi and sushi combos are wonderful. Hard to decide what to order. They have a really nice dessert sampler for a treat. The resaurant is eclectic and a novel place to share a meal.

We waited 1.5 hours for our food...waitress was not apologetic although she bought one of us a drink and an appy. It didn't make up for it. The place was parked and there was one or two large groups there for birthday parties but still. She blamed it on the sushi chefs and said they were backed up. Once the... More
