"The tables at the restaurant are interspaced with several large aquariums. These visual treats were the source of many comments throughout the evening. The service was "spot-on" throughout the entire dinner. The appetizers were accompanied by some delicious "home-made" bread. Our server noticed that our younger guests devoured their bread very quickly and brought them another loaf without being asked. The fish entrees were all cooked perfectly and tastefully accompanied by vegetables and rice. Most of us took some of our meal home to enjoy a second time. We definitely are planning a return visit."

"We have been here many times and it is always good. Our server was very nice and attentive. She made a small mistake and went out of her way to correct everything. Our one critique is that the menu has not changed in 20 years. There is never a surprise or special to change things up.
On the upside--you will always get a good, consistent experience.

"This restaurant had a very friendly staff and great service. We loved the fish tanks. However, the decor is dated. Not sure if that's the idea or not. The menu is also dated- I got a pasta and seafood dish that was tasty, but I could have found it 20 years ago. The raw sushi was decent but the rolls were not great. The salad was similar to a sushi place. We got the chocolate cake for dessert, which was more like a brownie, still tasty. We would probably return for the great service!"
