"Truly a hidden gem in the Midwest. The price point and the quality of the food is out of the world. This place is so popular so there’s always a long wait. Come put your name down early in the day if you’re in the area, then come back at dinner time.I liked almost everything I ordered from them. The sushi are great, I do like the fish more than the wagyu. If you’re not early enough, they run out of a lot of options too. Yakitori wise I love the beef tongue and pork belly a lot, but not so much the short rib. The grill madai head is also really good and plenty of meat.I haven’t had a chance to try their omakase yet, since it’s a little hard to book, but their a la carte is already amazing."

"Date night Saturday night. Our reservation was for 7pm, but we were falling asleep, so luckily they were able to accommodate at 6:15. : Only a few tables were occupied. Tall ceilings, nice ambiance, would have maybe liked some additional lighting such as candle light (or faux candle light . The weather outside was lovely and they opened the doors which gave way to French doors with iron railing. they were pretty! Our server mentions that the menu changes pretty frequently so we may not see on the menu what we read online. Fine by me, as you know from my reviews, I 'm always up for a food adventure. I had a gin based cocktail which tasted balanced. Spring Mushroom Mousseline, Pistachio and Drunken Fruit with Date Pecan bread. Mousseline served in a glass votive like ramekin (much like you 'd see foie , was tasty, creamy, albeit a little gritty from the pistachios. The bread came like a small loaf, almost precut (could have been sliced all the way through , with macerated cherry/cranberry compote. For a vegetarian option like foie, we were pleased and ate the entire portion. Scotch Olives with Saffron Aioli. These olives were HOT. No joke. A bit of, could you please blow on this before I burn my tongue? But, they were briny on the inside, with a perfectly coated fried crunch outside, and so yum once the heat dissipated. Nice touch on the aioli. Only 4 of them unfortunately... that 's 2.25 each! Rosemary Grilled Lamb Chops with Seedy Broccolini Salad with Cherries. Wood grilled carrots and pomegranate molasses. $39. Nice presentation. Crunchy but soft carrots, broccolini cooked perfectly. Seemed a bit on the small side as far as meat goes. Two double lollipops. Cooked perfect, and beautiful gamey taste, just not too much bang for the buck. Grilled Sturgeon, warm rice salad, fiddlehead ferns, snap peas. Not a fan of the glaze ontop, the fish portion was fine, but lackluster. I 'm a huge sucker for fiddlehead ferns, and I also know that they can be overcooked within seconds, which these were just slightly overcooked, lacked the snap in your teeth you get from a bright green cooked correctly one. Oh well. With everything in one bite, it was good, just not amazing. We shared the Mexican hot chocolate warm brownie/cake in a cup. The foam was nice, but the inside really reminded me of a fudgy cake you can buy in the grocery store, add water, and nuke in the microwave. Next time, happy to go back just for drinks and apps. Skip the more expensive main courses on their menu."

"I always have a great time at this restaurant. My experience was elevated by trying the red velvet coffee. I had it both cold and hot and was pleasantly surprised. The iced red velvet coffee was delicious, and I also bought a hot one. Normally I prefer tea, but I couldn't resist the red velvet coffee - it was that good. I believe it may not be available for much longer, so I highly recommend trying it before it's removed from the menu."

"All seafood selections at our table were outstanding, as were the beef tournedos. Veal cutlet ordered by one of our guests was very good, but not quite to the level of the other dishes. The staff was very welcoming and professional."

"Great dining choice in Toledo! The food was very good, especially the wings! They were so tender and fell off the bone, yet they still had a crispy outside. The menu had a lot of options- I ordered an Italian sandwich as my main course and it didn?t disappoint (I did ask for no olive tapenade because I?m not a fan of olives) and ended with the chocolate bread pudding, which was amazing! It had two sizes and I ordered small but I could?ve definitely ate a large- that good. The service was one thing we weren?t super impressed by, our server didn?t check up on our table much and didn?t get any refills until we were done eating. It wasn?t extremely busy, as we came around 2pm on a Thursday. Overall, though, the drinks and food were very satisfying and we are glad we chose this restaurant during our short time in Toledo!"
