    We visited Sushi-San last night for our anniversary and had an amazing experience. The food was incredible, the cocktails were fantastic, and the ambiance was fun and energetic without feeling overwhelming. A huge shoutout to Monica, our server, who was so kind, attentive, and fast throughout the night. She truly made our anniversary feel special and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great evening. We’ll definitely be back!

    Our first lunch at this restaurant (we’ve had brunch). It was delicious. The seared tuna chop salad and harvest bowl were delicious, and , my wife’s favorite, the truffle fries were great. Good cocktails and excellent service.
