Worst service ever The restaurant looks nice enough - quite small and intimate, modern decor.
The staff, with the exception of the overweight sweaty owner, are like moody teenagers, acting as though they are doing you a favour.
The hygiene is questionable as we saw the sushi chef use his mobile phone with his cooking gloves on.
The menu itself looks good, although on the night we dined there, nearly half the menu was unavailable (told to us in no apologetic way whatsoever).
The sushi was good, although none of the meat sushi was available, so this is only based on the vegetarian ones.
The steak ordered arrived a good few minutes before the condiments and chips etc, but tasted great.
The chicken was black and burnt on the outside and slightly raw in the middle, but the owner was adamant it was just 'grilled' on the outside and the 'bones' on the inside and also stated 'there is nothing else' to be served instead.
So if you like rude service, burnt and uncooked food, you know where to go!
