I suppose we all live in a fish bowl in one sense or another, floating there for all the world to see. Drifting, swimming, drifting, swimming. It's only a matter of time before we get netted in the ebb of life and trotted to the chopping block. We were beautiful while we lasted, our shimmering scales reflecting the rays of the flourescent lamps. But in the end, we were just too tasty to throw back. Not to worry, the butcher's blade is sharp and his stroke quick. "Mmmm ... yellowtail sushi and a California roll. It just doesn't get any fresher." This transformed old movie theatre offers a wide array of dishes to choose from that will please every palate. Which is why this contemporary sushi restaurant has established itself as an area favorite. It's become so popular you can even bid on gift certificates on eBay! It is no big surprise that they've been serving up sushi for over a decade here in Denver.
