Went to Sakura last night. Sat at the sushi bar and ordered a variety of items. They gave us a complimentary appetizer which was very tasty. The sushi and rolls we ordered were very good, and when we asked for them to alter a "standard" roll they did so with no problem and got it right.

They had quite a few customers - which indicates to me a lot of people have been monitoring them for an opening date. I overheard others say "we'll be back" and we voiced the same opinion.

My expectations were a little low for service, etc. because they had just opened. I was pleasantly surprised, they did a great job. The sushi chefs seemed to be showing each other various ways of presentation, kind of sharing experience.

We didn't order anything from the kitchen, just the sushi bar. The menu looks interesting but sushi bars seem like a magnet for us.
