| - OK, its taken me a while to write this review, so I'm going on memory but this place was a stand out.
The service was great. They were attentive but never rushed us, and everything came out perfectly timed.
To start we ordered the shishito peppers and the hamachi jalapeno. The fish was incredibly fresh and the flavors well balanced. I've had shishito peppers before and they have always been pretty mild. This order had some real kickers in there. It was fantastic and we kept the peppers at the table all through out dinner. We decided to share a warm plate and ordered the wagyu striploin. I could have gotten a second order if we weren't also planning on ordering sushi. The meat was just outstanding, the ponzu mustard sauce was a perfect accompaniment, and the mushrooms could have been a plate on their own. It's been a couple of months since I had dinner here and I still think about this dish. For our sushi order we did our usual, spicy tuna roll, white tuna, salmon, mackerel, and tamago. Tamago is always like dessert for me. The sushi was excellent. Fresh, perfect portion of rice to fish, and balanced flavors.
The one thing that I would take away from here is don't stick with the sushi you normally order at your local place. I would say it is better to try items that you normally don't have available at home. Mix it up a bit.
