Food Scene

Mitch and the staff (like family) provide an amazing and entertaining sushi dinner / BYOB experience in a tiny spot but well worth the wait (can be an hour or two especially the weekends). They take your number and call you so you can relax somewhere else as you wait. If possible, request the sushi bar to get a chance to watch Mitch work his magic and engage in a Q n A about everything sushi A-Z!
