    Staff was incredible, we loved our waiter Juan, very knowledgeable and responsive during the meal. The chef was excellent, very kind and open to conversation. The food was terrific, some of the best beef and sushi I’ve ever had; a highlight for me was the authentic wasabi root, which is a real rarity in the US. For a special occasion they really went out of their way to make us feel cared for!
