Sabina B.Sabina B.: Start with the Waldo Carpaccio (go off menu and ask, it's worth it) & Hamachi Truffle, and follow those up with the Himalayan Trout, Flaming Sea Bass, and Boombox (sans banana...thank me later).

Sabina B.Sabina B.: Get here when it opens as the wait list fills up fast. The Boom Box roll is truly scrumtrulescent but a mouthful (#ThatsWhatSheSaid)
