"We are interested in healthy food without oil. We don't eat meat, dairy, fried food, or seafood. We asked Evan to fix us a special vegan roll, not sure if he was up to the challenge. Boy, did he impress! He made two rolls: one w slow cooked mushrooms (not pictured) and also nigiri w roasted yellow peppers (not pictured). It was outstanding! He also fixed us some tofu w scallions and a simple sauce which he and his wife enjoy at home. We also got some udon noodles and steamed vegetables which were outstanding.It was so good we were practically licking the plates!We heartily recommended them to our monthly WVegan Supper Club as our members are interested in heart healthy food.Such a lovely meal everything was so delicious! We will definitely be back!!! Vegetarian options: I didn't even look for vegan options. I simply described what we wanted (no oil/cholesterol being key) and asked Evan (the sushi chef) to see what he could do to make something tasty. We were not disappointed! He gave us two outstanding vegan rolls, a plate of tofu with scallions and Dashi, and we also had a plate of steamed vegetables and a side of udon which we seasoned with fresh lemon slices and a bit of soy sauce. Dietary restrictions: We eat a WFPBNO for cardiovascular health. The chef was easily able to make several dishes without oil or fried food, meat or dairy, and they were still very flavorful and delicious. So good, we were simply astonished. Most people don't know how to make tasty food under those conditions."

"My wife had previously visited this restaurant on a girls' night out and recommended that our family give it a try. This is not your average pizza place, although they do serve pizza. As soon as we walked in, I could tell it was different from other places by the professional attire of the wait staff. We were seated promptly and our waiter, Brandon, was very knowledgeable about the menu and took our drink orders. My wife and I had beer while my son tried a Fireball Margarita made with Tequila and Fireball Whiskey, which I was hesitant about until I tried it myself - highly recommended! Brandon was attentive to my food allergies and quickly sought out the information I needed. For appetizers, we ordered the Tomato Bruschetta, which was delicious. Our main dishes arrived all at once and were hot, beautifully presented, and tasted amazing. The portions were generous, with my wife and son needing to take leftovers home. When offered dessert, my son chose the cheesecake with a strawberry glaze, which he couldn't finish and had to take half home. Overall, this restaurant provided more than just a meal - it was an experience. The atmosphere and quality of food made me feel as though I was in Italy. While it's not fine dining, it is more upscale in terms of presentation. You don't need to dress up to appreciate the fantastic food and overall experience. I definitely plan on returning to try more dishes, and I also want to mention they have a Tap Room available, although we didn't have a chance to try it."
