Izakaya Blue Ocean

A Japanese friend recommended this spot and it definitely did not disappoint. Japanese owned and operated. I knew this place was going to be good when I arrived for Saturday around noon and the place was packed. Everything from the appetizers, nigiri and Japanese entrees were on point.

I truly enjoy coming to this quaint little place to eat. I've been coming to frequent this restaurant since college days. I've always loved the food and service has always been friendly. My latest adventure that I've tried here is their Kaiseki meal and I'm in love with it! Will go back to try the other set meals again!
