| - Me and two other friends went to this Downtown location last night to try it out. Overall, the experience was fairly positive. The place isn't big to be honest but good thing was it didn't feel cramped either. We got there around 7:30 ish and was seated in a couple of minutes. We didn't go for their traditional appetizers but ordered sushi rolls instead, both from their specialty rolls part of the menu. The first one, forgot what it's called, came in 5 pieces but was rather delicious. Feeling hungry, we ordered a second one, the Ronnie roll. At the same price, it came in 10 pieces but wasn't nearly as good. Their entrees are priced around 30 dollars each. I could only imagine that being in downtown has something to do with it. The portion sizes are on the smaller side. My friend's sea scallops cost $30 and there were only 4 pieces. Now they were cooked perfectly but I'm more used to 3-4 pieces as an appetizer costing $15. I had their swordfish "fingers", basically swordfish sticks breaded and seared. The texture of the meat was what I expected of the swordfish but the "fingers" weren't really seasoned enough to my taste. Yes there was chipotle ketchup on the plate but I would've liked my taste even without it. For dessert, we had their cheesecake. As advertised, it was not as dense as some of the traditional cheesecakes, which I did appreciate. The texture and flavor were both quite good, although for the price ($9) you'd expect it to be. To sum up, nice restaurant for fresh seafood in downtown. But you do pay for the "downtown premium" with higher prices.
PS: this is a BYOB place, we brought a bottle of wine and the corkage was $5.
