" On a recent Friday night, my partner and I decided to try Hammer & Nail after hearing many recommendations. The atmosphere is lively and the design transports you back to a mid-century vibe. We were pleasantly surprised by the gluten-free sushi options—an unexpected delight! The cocktails were creative, but some were a tad too sweet for my taste. Moreover, the service was very friendly albeit somewhat sporadic during peak hours, making it a bit challenging to get timely refills. Despite this, the food quality, particularly the nigiri, made up for the service shortcomings. We’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

Noteworthy mention: the service may take time during busy hours, but it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Hammer & Nail for dinner and I must say the experience was delightful!

" If you're seeking authentic sushi with an upscale feel, then Hammer & Nail is definitely worth visiting! I was blown away by the quality of the sushi—they really focus on fresh ingredients.

" Every visit to Hammer & Nail has its own charm! I love the modern decor with a throwback vibe. On my recent visit, I went for the happy hour specials and the value was quite impressive. You get a decent selection of tasty drinks and the sushi rolls had generous portions. The only downside was the limited seating which can get cramped during peak hours. Nevertheless, I’ll continue to return for the fabulous food and creative cocktails. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience wasn't as expected. I loved the atmosphere and the drinks but struggled with the service at times. It felt rushed, and our server missed a few orders. However, the freshness and authenticity of the sushi was undeniable. I'll give it another shot as I believe it deserves a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hammer & Nail is an absolute gem! I went for my birthday dinner and the staff made it extra special. The ambiance set the perfect tone for celebration, and the food was divine. I particularly loved the queasy quail roll, which was a delightful discovery. The cocktails were also expertly crafted, each drink telling its own story. A minor hiccup was that we waited a while for our table, but it was worth it! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to indulge in great sushi and drinks! " (*Curated Review*)
