We had good Sushi at Sake. We especially liked the Prawn Tempura Roll and the Kings Crabb Roll. We were a little bit disappointed about the Nigiri as they were very small for the price. The quality was good, but not good enough to compensate the size/price.
The staff was excellent: friendly, fast and attentively.

Sake is a trendy place. We arrived late without a booking and were told to wait at the busy bar as five couples were waiting to be seated ahead of us. Within 20 minutes we were seated at a communal table. We ordered lots of small plates, Japanese fusion and asked, very nicely and politely if we could have a private table. While the restaurant was buzzing with patrons our waitress managed to get us an individual table. Food was delicious but service was slow as the restaurant was full. Friendly service service with a smile. We would certainly come back. Sake is a place to come and party with friends and they have all kind of semi private rooms to book

This is a very upscale Japanese restaurant. We enjoyed the chef's classic tasting menu with sake pairing. Our server was terrific and guided us through 6 delectable courses, each with a great sake pairing. The service was great, as was the food.This was a very enjoyable meal. Plan for 2 hours.

The only plus point is the good quality of food. Service needs lots of improvements and cocktails are definitely not their strengths. It is also overpriced that let me not recommend.

A place to see and be seen, this wanna be offers good food at very high prices. Very limited sushi but heavy on the $30 appetizers or small plates. Expect to leave with a $100 per person bill and still a bit hungry from the small portions.
