"Our favorite place to have a delicious meal. Our most Lego lobster. Sooooo good."
Genny
"Suitable and reliable sushi restaurant with fresh fish offerings and consistent staffing. Not the best but definitely rises above the many others competitors in Fort Myers."
Gregory Demaras SWFL Realtor
"Came here after a science meeting nearby. Since we ate at the meeting, we were only ordering drinks. We sat together at a high top, and the bartender was top notch. She was very attentive and kept up with our drinks if they were empty. Great service and she didn't seem bothered at all that we were just ordering drinks.
Great atmosphere, tasty cocktails, and good conversation with friends made this a fun night."
