Really nice kids menu. Regular menu is QR codes for folks who feel nostalgic about that phase of the pandemic. First time in a long while I haven't finished my sushi. To be sure we had Island Snow that afternoon.

I had a reservation for my grand daughter and I for lunch. When we arrived, we were immediately seated at a table that was in full sun. I asked if we could be seated at a shaded table instead. I was told that we could only sit at a table for two and the only other option was a partially shaded table. I sat my grand daughter in the shade and I sat in the sun. (I am a survivor of two melanoma and the sun is not my friend.). About 5 minutes later, two people walked up to the hostess and explained that they did not have a reservation but would like to have lunch. They were immediately seated at a table for four IN THE SHADE!!! If this were not a special occasion, we would have walked out. In addition to this frustrating and incomprehensible incident, the food was highly priced and mediocre at best. I will not return.

The Brussels sprouts appetizer is amazing. Interesting menu that changes by season - which is cool, but also sad when they swap out an amazing dish for something a little lackluster. Four stars because ambience depends on whether you’re view is if the restaurant or the parking lot. Also because I’ve been here several times and the quality and flavor has not been consistent between visits.
