The tuna entree is amazing. Get it rare. Comes with rice cakes , crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also comes with shishito peppers and snap peas . Absolutely delicious.

The ahi tuna entree was great. Calamari , steak tartare , and crab cake made for great apps, and if you get ice cream for dessert , prepare yourself for a big dish with 2 cookies on the side.
