"There were no people upstairs when we went, so it was very intimate but not that exciting of a place. Sushi was good."

"The Chinese New Year menu was like a chef's tasting menu. Presentation was excellent, as was the waitress and the maitre de. The wine that accompanied each dish was well matched and enhanced its flavor. Are very enjoyable, relaxing evening."
