My husband and I had an excellent time here. The staff are tremendously hospitable and well trained. The food was fresh and delicious! We love the variety of seafood and how it was prepared. I personally loved the seaweed garnishes, I think they have a big impact to the freshness of the dish and they are delicious! We are really satisfied with our food and the pricing. The weekly special was reasonably priced and offer a great wide range of raw, cooked, and different culture cuisines.

Our first time here as birthday gathering for my sister in law. We Simply love it. The waitresses were very helpful with what to do. There are two other fresh meat store within the restaurant that if you don’t like to order from the menu you may buy the fresh meat/seafood and the chef will cook it for you. Great atmosphere for any gatherings. The cocktails are quite strong but otherwise everything was great.

We just enjoyed a delightful dinner and every dish we tried. The collar fish tacos were moist and superb! The uni butter toast yum and the cold shrimp well seasoned. The staff was attentive and friendly. The venue was fantastic with other food shops to browse.

A delicious, modern twist on fresh seafood. Minnesota winter and seafood don’t usually go together, but their dishes all had a warm, satisfying flavor. They’ve worked hard on the menu, and it shows. Friendly and helpful staff. Cool “fishing town” interior vibe.
We ordered the scallops to start, which were a standout. Blowfish tails followed. Crispy and tasty, but too spicy for me (apparently that’s how buffalo wings are supposed to taste). Our mains included a side of cheesy bread, mussels, and a lobster roll. The mussels had lots of ham and broth, giving it a hearty feel. My lobster roll was great, and it came with shoestring fries. We finished with a delicious slice of key lime pie. Overall, a lot of Asian inspired flavorings. We did feel that the modern-inspired menu was a little incongruous with the interior, which felt very classic.
One suggestion: the interior felt a little dark for winter, it could use some brightening up over these cold months.

My wife and I ordered a ton of food here and everything was absolutely incredible. I would definitely recommend it to couples on a date or anyone in the mood for upscale seafood. The only problem was the price. It was slightly overpriced compared to similar restaurants I’ve been to.

Amazing open space! We have gone twice now to try new plates. Great sun fish, amazing broiled oysters, Lobster roll is worth its weight in gold! Hamachi taco are a must.We purchased some sea urchins and the chef prepared them in two amazing ways! Tim Mckee has a meat market and fish market sharing the space and will have farmers market vendors down stairs on the weekend.

I went to dinner here on a week night. I had a small plate of chilled scallops which was delicious and a large plate of salmon. The food was so good and the flavors were unique. The atmosphere was really nice too. I ate at the bar and the service was excellent. Would love to go back.

The restaurant is so beautiful. I love the layout of the place, esp how there are other places that you can check out. You find yourself looking at the all the things around you. It was truly a different and unique atmosphere. Our server, Trevor, was great. He gave us a run down of the menu and offered many wonderful suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks and food items that we ordered.

A must-hit for seafood lovers. Has a Soho chic vibe with a warm atmosphere and staff that compliments ot well. Nice menu, although one very minor suggestion would be to add a few grilled or sauteed items for those not feeling the raw fish vibe. However, there is something on the menu for everyone. Great evening. Make sure you book a table on the weekends in order to get in. Go next door to the brewery for some great drinks before or after.

This place is truly great. Plates are sized perfectly for whatever experience you want. Small and medium plates to try many things, or larger entrees if you’re just looking to order one item. The ambience and environment is a really chill vibe even with a packed house. The design of the space contributes much to the feel of the experience without being overbearing. The meat and seafood markets in the same space make you feel like you’re in a different country. This was a really impressive dining experience.
