Beautifully remodeled. Very comfortable with a slight California vibe. Menu is awesome. Something for everyone. Sushi worth the trip by itself. Giovanni, our server, was very welcoming wanting to make our experience the first of many. Try the fried chicken sandwich, even if it is a dish you don’t usually consider. Only drawback - a little loud - but the restaurant was full and we chose to eat inside. We’ll be coming back.
