4.7 / 5.0(3,613 reviews)

We are seafood lovers, and my husband took me here for my birthday dinner. The oysters were very fresh and juicy. The food was good, and the service was great. We sat in the balcony area, which was warm. The only downside was the heater — it couldn’t be adjusted, so when one table complained that it was too hot, they turned it off. Once it was off, it got cold again, so they had to keep switching it on and off. The walkway to the washroom was also quite dark. Overall, we had a great time there. I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive. A special thanks to Chris for providing such excellent service and making our visit extra enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again! A lovely spot for enjoying white wine. If you’re feeling full after dinner, I recommend the fresh lobster sashimi as a light accompaniment. Ask for lemon and cocktail sauce on the side, it elevates the flavor noticeably. Portions are very small and the price is determined by market rate, so it isn’t inexpensive, but there aren’t many places where you can enjoy lobster sashimi. The atmosphere is excellent and the staff are gracious.

Came here on a Sunday evening and got seated at the sushi bar, which was a great experience — it’s always nice to watch the sushi chefs at work. We weren’t too hungry, so we ordered a few items to share. Our server recommended a bottle of sake to pair with the food (wish I had taken a photo of the label!), and interestingly, it was served in a wine glass instead of traditional sake cups. We ended the meal with dessert and an espresso martini. Overall, it was a great dinner — the atmosphere was relaxed yet upscale and very clean. Would definitely come back!

We drove all the way from Seattle for this place, and after all these years, it still delivers. Top-notch food quality, impeccable service, and an awesome ambiance. We had cocktail prawns, lobster, and sablefish. Everything was perfect for our birthday dinner. Shout-out to our server Robb. His attention to detail and dedication to making sure all our needs were met made our evening special and unforgettable. We’ll definitely be coming back for our next big day or whenever we just don’t want to be disappointed.
