A friend at work referred me to Fontana’s Sushi, saying that the chef was very creative and the fish was extremely fresh. All was true and with out a doubt was the best sushi I’ve had in ten years. I lived in Atlanta in those ten years and went to some of the best internationally acclaimed sushi restaurants, that do not hold a candle to what Fontana’s presented last night.

Our family went here for the first time for Mother's Day dinner and we had a wonderful experience. The sushi was fresh, well prepared, and delightfully presented. The available variety allowed us to each select things we liked and we were not disappointed. The Hot Roll was delicious and we left quite satisfied. It is a bit of a drive up from Castle Rock, but we will be back.

While the sushi was delicious. I have found other places with the same quality of sushi for an average of $30 less than what we were charged for with our dinner. The atmosphere of the restaurant was wonderful and I enjoyed the fish tanks and how traditional they made the restaurant feel. I personally would recommend it to try it to say you’ve been there, but as a personal favorite I wouldn’t say it’s my first choice.

It was ok. The young lady serving us was great. Energetic, polite, professional and eager to assist. The manager/owner was a bit abrasive and even noted that we should have made it clear upon ordering the "seared scallops" that we wanted them seared. They had to served 3 times before there was any indication they had been treated at all. Most of the food was really very good and the Diablo roll which we, at the suggestion of our server, requested tempura fried and it was amazing. I'd love to try Fontana again, but it'd be nice to have a smoother customer experience.

The food was good but our service, not so much. I’m not sure what one of our servers was going through but she was short and rude and we were barely checked on which was annoying considering there were 4 tables seated and most of them left while we were still eating. Then at the end we had the checks split and she charged my card for both our receipts so what was the point of splitting the checks. And when she brought them back she slapped them down on the table and didn’t give either of us a pen.

We had reservations for 9:00. When we were seated the waitress informed us that it was last call before we had even looked at the menu. We ordered and the soup, salad and sushi arrived all at once. We definitely felt very hurried. The restaurant emptied rather quickly and the staff immediately began cleaning. The dishes were clattering and the vacuum was being used. We had to ask for a little quiet. The experience was terrible. If they’re going to take reservations they should honor the time frame. We were hustled out 45 minutes after we arrived. The bill was $115 for the 2 of us. What a horrible rip off. We will never go again. If you’re going, go very early.

I went to dinner at Fontana for the first time on 3/20/2021. We ordered both sushi and tempura style entrees. The food was very good, especially the sushi! The one thing that made the experience pretty uncomfortable was the number of people in the restaurant. It was packed! There was no social distancing happening as every table was seated. I was very surprised given COVID is still happening. I felt safe entering the restaurant because the staff was taking temperatures and wearing mask and gloves when we entered. Also, the restaurant wasn't packed when we sat down so I was very surprised when it filled in. I love supporting small local businesses many of which are hurting economically during Covid, but definitely do NOT recommend this restaurant for covid conscience people who want to social distance while dining.

Every time I go here everything tastes fresh great presentation! Have become one a regular over the years. These guys season things just right and right amount of sauces on rolls. Love the warm sake! so yummy to pairs well with everything. Gyoza is good Fresh wasabi is good a little more mild then wasabi paste which is a good thing. Halibut Roll and rainbow rolls are my fav.
