Amazing Japanese food. It's quite expensive but worth it for a treat.
It is always busy but the atmosphere is quite quiet, I would not recommend it for a raucous event!

A cheaper Japanese restaurant, but the sushi is still great. It can be quite quiet on a week day night but it usually has a good vibe on a weekend.
It is downstairs off the main street so it is often easy to miss. It has no outdoor seating.
