We went here on a Wednesday evening and the ambiance was great. Just the right amount of lighting. Lots of tables for couples to larger groups. I spotted a traditional Japanese dining room in the back, near the bathrooms, which would be a cool thing to do with a bunch of people. The restaurant just opened so they didn't have draft beer yet but the hot tea was perfect for a cold winter night and the wine & mixed drink menu looked comprehensive. Everything we ordered was very good - garlic crusted calamari, miso soup, three sushi rolls (Dragon which is shrimp/eel, spicy tuna, Mary which is like a California roll). Service was very good - not pretentious - I think we saw some CAST actors working as well as some other Plaza Midwood neighborhood faces. I hope this place survives since the location seems to be cursed like the Cursed Pirate Girl (Jeremy Bastian reference y'all). And check out the used book store next door if you have time - just watch out for their puss who, like most pusses, can be cranky when approached the wrong way. Cheerio!
