It’s our favorite go-to place to take people who are coming into California – – that night was particularly lovely as the ocean was gorgeous. The food – – especially my halibut and the sea bass were delicious The bread did take an inordinate a lot of time to get to the table – – but was well worth the wait. We definitely will be back

We had a wonderful anniversary celebration! The food was fantastic, the nonalcoholic drinks were tasty, and they brought out an ice cream to share with a sparkler in it in celebration of our day. It was very nice, and the service was impeccable! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Had an excellent meal here, the fish was very fresh, and Rodrigo (our Sushi chef) personally took great care of us. He was engaging, took a proper pace to serve us, and delivered multiple courses of great nigiri. Our waitress kept checking in and brought our beverages promptly. Will definitely go back again.

We had the best night. We wanted to go the first night on SD but did not have a reservation (You definitely need one). We booked one for a Monday. They did not disappoint. We originally had a table by the front window but there was a big party next to us. They asked us to move to another table to accommodate the party but in turn made up for it by buying us a drink and moved us to in my opinion a better area of the restaurant. The food was amazing and the service top tier. Jesus took great care of us. I definitely recommend and will come again for date night or girls night.
