“We had never heard of this wonderful place until we saw the Sushi class offered. Our son loves cooking new and fun things so I signed him up. While we waited we tried an appetizer at the restaurant. The wings were beyond surprising. They are brine, smoked and then fried. WOW!! Our new favorite in town. It is a mix of high class meets small town casual. The Sushi class was a monster hit This is a MUST for trying amazing new menu items and classes that are a rare find for this area.”
“Excellent wing appetizer 1lb was enough to share. Get one of the flavored rubs. Lobster bisque was great , too.”
