Love, love, love this place. We have been several times and it was great. I was sick when I heard it had burned. I can not wait until the are back in business. Great food and service.

We ate here with some friends last weekend. The place needs a bit of remodeling, but we had an enjoyable time.

At one time this was my favorite place to eat, but they have had a change of ownership and things went down hill. First the chefs are all Mexican and they do not interact with the customers anymore. They cook the food very well but there is no show to speak of. The wait staff are very unconcerned with the patrons. It is an act of congress to get another drink. The sushi (which use to be my favorite) now looks like something an amature made in the kitchen at home. Some of the last sushi I had there was actually dry, like it had been made hours in advance. I was afraid to eat it. When I complained to the new owner and told them that I had been eating there for years and was not pleased on this particular night the response I recieved was "I sure hate that". When I told them if there were not going to be improvements I would not be back they replied with "Ok, thank you. Have a nice night" They did not offer to take the enedible sushi off my check and offered no type of discount for that night or any other. My check that night was $120 and some change. That did not include tip. Needless to say my family will not go back there ever again.
