Excellent Seafood and Diverse Plates
I normally don’t write reviews, but my experience at this restaurant was really good. The seafood was exceptional, and I had the best fried calamari I’ve ever tasted. All of our plates were very good, including the miso black cod, fish and chips, Hawaiian plate, and even the cheeseburger. The sauces were also very good.

Good Food, Excellent Service, Minor Miso Mishap
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with excellent food and outstanding service. I particularly enjoyed the calamari and the sticky ribs, which were both great. The service was a perfect 10/10. However, there were a couple of minor issues with the food: the Miso soup seemed to be made incorrectly, as the base broth was not suitable for miso paste. Additionally, the Creamy Mac salad was not Hawaiian style. Despite these small points, the overall experience was very good.

Great Seafood with Asian Fusion Flair
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. It's a nice seafood spot that offers some Asian Fusion dishes and a variety of trending items, including sushi rolls. I opted for the fish and chips, which featured fat juicy cod, perfectly batter-fried and served with a drizzle of malt vinegar. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the food quality was excellent, earning a 4. Overall, a good dining experience.

Uncomfortable Exit Over Tip
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative due to an uncomfortable interaction with the server, Molly S. , as we were leaving. While the service was average and nothing memorable, and a noticeable portion of the menu was unavailable, the main issue arose after payment. Molly S. Physically blocked our exit and questioned us about the tip, implying it wasn't 20%. Being stopped and questioned at the door over a tip felt inappropriate and pressured. This interaction turned an otherwise unremarkable meal into a negative experience, causing visible discomfort within our group. Such situations are avoidable, and I won't be returning.

Fish and Chips Stand Out
My experience at the restaurant was overall not bad for the price. The atmosphere was casual and clean. However, the service was not as friendly as it should have been. Of the three dishes we ordered, only the fish and chips were memorable.

Outstanding Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was marked by outstanding food and promise of service. The atmosphere was relaxing, with music that was not loud, allowing for great conversations without having to raise my voice. The overall experience was highly positive, with a perfect score for atmosphere, service, and food.

Confusing Seating Policy
I came in by myself to try and get a table, and although the restaurant was empty, the hostess said she wouldn’t seat me anywhere but the bar outside or near the open front door when it’s like 50 degrees outside. I literally looked around at the empty restaurant, and she insisted there was no room. I don’t understand it.

Delicious Japanese Bowl, Service Recovery
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, centered around the delicious Japanese Wasabi Bowl. I opted to substitute the Ahi Tuna for salmon and was pleasantly surprised that it was grilled, which I found to be amazing regardless 😋. Although our initial cutlery was dirty with old food, the staff quickly replaced these with much cleaner utensils, demonstrating great service 😊.
