    We booked for 12 people for a birthday and they went above and beyond for it. We had the dead season deal which all came on time and they organised the cake to come out as well. The portion sizes are very generous and there is plenty on the menu for vegans and veggies and gluten free. Would recommend to for anyone wanting to just go for dinner or celebrate an occasion. Will be booking again - if you go get the sprouts and go hungry!

    This is the first sushi restaurant where I have been served a roll that was clearly just brought out of the refrigerator. It was their salmon roll and the core roll was approximately 40°. They had put some small pieces of salmon and sauce over the top. Totally unacceptable. The grilled brussels sprouts like why seemed like they had been sitting on a stove all day. Very surprised by the ratings for this place. It is more of a bar, including the smell than a restaurant. We would not return here.
