" Yellowtail is a hidden gem for sushi lovers! I stumbled across it while looking for a new sushi place and I'm so glad I did. The rolls are creative, and the fish is top-notch; honestly, some of the best I've had in this town. I tried a chef's special that included seasonal fish, and it was fantastic. Would definitely recommend making a reservation on weekends as it gets busy! Overall, a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Yellowtail was wonderful! The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our evening special. The sushi was some of the best I've had around here. We ordered a few specialty rolls, including the chef's selection. Each bite was better than the last. I also loved their house-made sauces; they enhanced the flavors without overpowering them. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy due to the crowd. Otherwise, I couldn't fault anything. Highly recommend for sushi enthusiasts! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yellowtail hit all the right notes! Brilliant atmosphere, lovely decor, and friendly staff set the mood for an enjoyable night. Their sushi was absolutely killer—full of flavor, fresh, and wonderfully presented. It was a tad on the pricier side, but I believe you get what you pay for in both service and quality here. Definitely would come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a sushi addict, and my first visit to Yellowtail confirmed why it's so loved! The small restaurant felt intimate; we were greeted promptly by the staff. The chef’s special ended up being an incredible choice. It was rich in flavor, and every bite felt fresh. I will say, they are stingy with soy sauce; I would have loved a little more to dip! Overall, it certainly met my expectations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yellowtail has become my favorite sushi spot! The sushi rolls are made with fresh ingredients and have an authentic taste that reminds me of my time in Japan. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect place for both special occasions and casual dinners. I highly recommend trying their Chirashi bowl and the spicy tuna roll; both are to die for. The staff is attentive, and I love that they offer BYOB. Overall, a 5-star experience every time I visit!

" I stopped by Yellowtail after hearing great things from friends. The interior is charming; it feels very authentic. I tried their teriyaki chicken and it was cooked to perfection—flavorful and tender! The sushi lovers in my group were very pleased too. However, I expected larger sushi rolls for the price. Regardless, I would absolutely return, as the overall experience was enjoyable and the service was warm. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant definitely lives up to the buzz! Yellowtail has a warm atmosphere, and the service is fantastic. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, with some unique twists on classics. My only complaint would be the pricing, which felt a bit high for the portion sizes. Still, it's a great place for a fun sushi night! " (*Curated Review*)
