    Another amazing dinner experience on one of the best patios in Tampa. The food was fantastic as always. I don’t think we have ever had a bad meal here. We were celebrating our 37th anniversary and the seated us at a great city view table by the water. Our server Michelee was so good. What a great server who missed nothing and was very pleasant. We will be back in a few weeks.

    Birkin's steak and lobster was excellent. Another member said the rib eye was very good and large cut. All cooked to perfection. Spicy tuna rolls are good and very reasonably priced. Brandy our server provided details about menu items, very friendly and attentive to our table. Support staff kept drinks filled. Highly recommend.

    Great value. The quality makes this place the best all you can eat sushi places in town. It's more expensive than most others, but the quality more than makes up for it. Service was good, but not great. We've been here several times and the food generally comes out quickly, however there are always items that drag on and the server has to check on multiple times. The rolls themselves are good, but nothing screams "great." The use of pickled jalapeno in everything versus fresh jalapeno is a complete miss for me. It ruins the flavor of the fish, especially hamachi. The sashimi does not disappoint, however, and is what really drives the value. It's definitely worth a visit and we'll be back.
