This place is pricey and crowded most nights. You certainly need a reservation if you are going on a Friday or Saturday night. The food was worth it however and the atmosphere really reminded me of a lot of places in NY. I order the sushi which was excellent and the large soup my cousin ordered she enjoyed very much. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful. I hate that they do not validate and it is a bit noisy. Its also a tad over priced for what you are getting, but I would go back on a few more occasions.
