I can’t remember his name, but there is an African-American young man who is a waiter and studying to be a sommelier . He provided the absolute best service I’ve ever had in a restaurant. The food was fantastic.

From start to finish everything about our meal was wonderful. Gene was a great addition to the night. So knowledgeable and so fun. The stone crab was out of this world and each dish was phenomenal. The desserts to go (carrot cake and key lime pie) were still great later when we finally had room for more. The restaurant is also beautiful. Truly stunning.

The best sushi in town! I would recommend the salmon carpaccio with Dijon, shrimp coxinha, haru hot and the blowtorch Djoy (my favorite!). For desert, Banana with Nutella is a must! Can’t wait to come back!
