We have started with Sushi by Sea since it's formation (since it was an idea on a napkin). We have attended all the pops ups, have seen the different menus, and have seen this passion turn into life. No matter what menu we get, our stomachs and hearts are always full. Every bite hits with flavor and passion. The pictures I am posting is from our dinner mid-Feb 2025. But everytime we go there, I swear, we always sit next to great people and have the best conversations. Thank you so much for such an excellent meal and great conversations!

What an amazing dinner experience! We had the delight of dining with Chef Chris and Josh, and had such a fantastic time! The dishes are so flavorful and masterfully presented, but what really shines is the quality and choice of the fish. I have never had such incredible quality fish before. Some of these bites were absolutely life changing! I can't wait to come here again.

We had a really great time at Sushi by Sea. The staff, the host, and the chef were all extremely friendly from start to finish. We did the 6pm seating and did not feel rushed at all. Each dish was inventive, beautiful, and delicious! We will absolutely be back.

By far the best omakase experience I’ve ever done!! Chef Chris was amazing in his craft and Josh made sure that my boyfriend and I had a great first time experience. The food was exquisite- beautifully made and the portions were just right. We both left feeling full and satisfied. I can’t wait to go back in the spring/summer to see what changes Chef Chris brings to the menu!!!

This was our second time coming to sushi by sea, and I didn’t think it was possible, but they got even better than the first time. We had the opportunity to try their new seasonal menu and it was absolutely fantastic. We had such a good time. The food was delicious. It’s such a three dimensional experience between the taste, texture and the atmosphere of the environment that you’re eating in. Coming to this restaurant, you truly watch a master at work who loves his craft And it’s evident amongst his team as well that they are all passionate about the food and the quality that you receive.

Sushi By Sea is nothing short of a revelation. From the moment you step into this intimate, chic space, you know you’re in for something truly special. Chef Cris is an absolute master of his craft—every bite of his omakase is a work of art, meticulously executed and thoughtfully curated. The ingredients are premium, often rare, and treated with such care and precision that even the simplest dishes shine with complex, layered flavors. What truly sets this experience apart is the way Chef Cris makes you feel not just welcome, but seen. You arrive as strangers and leave as friends, bonded by a shared appreciation of food and a genuinely warm atmosphere. And let’s talk portions: this is the only omakase I’ve ever left feeling fully satisfied, both in taste and in quantity. Generous, decadent, and honestly a fantastic value for the level of experience delivered. Sushi By Sea isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory. Don’t miss it.

An unforgettable culinary experience! Our visit was to celebrate my birthday. Sushi by Sea is more than just a dining destination—it’s an experience steeped in mystique and warmth. It's like visiting a foreign place with no idea of what to expect, kind of like a speakeasy but more. From the moment we secured our reservation to our arrival at the restaurant, anticipation built in a way that heightened the exclusivity of the evening. Upon entering, the waiting area set the stage, adorned with striking canvas paintings by Mitchell Schorr, while the intimate sushi bar promised an immersive culinary journey. Seated “front and center” among thirteen guests, we felt immediately welcomed by the engaging and hospitable crew. Chef Chris and Josh embodied the restaurant’s ethos, reflected in the sign at the bar: “Arrive as strangers, leave as friends.” Their passion for their craft and genuine connection with diners made the experience truly special. The sushi, freshly sourced from around the world, was nothing short of exceptional. Every piece was a masterpiece, meticulously curated for peak flavor and texture. Not a single selection disappointed, each bite reaffirming the restaurant’s commitment to excellence. The unique atmosphere, coupled with unmatched service and world-class sushi, left us thoroughly impressed. Sushi by Sea is an experience unlike any other—captivating, entertaining, and deeply satisfying. We left not only as admirers of the restaurant but eager to return for another round of culinary perfection.
