I went here on Wednesday February 15 to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Just her and I went. Our reservation was late (9pm). I ordered the Catch roll* along with a side for myself and everything else that I bought to treat my sister to. Since I was

driving, I ordered the non-alcoholic watermelon drink and had some water also. We’re from Ventura County, so we got home after midnight and I went straight to sleep. At 5am I woke up puking, and then again at 7am. I didn’t think too much of it at first, so I went to work at 8am, but puked again there at 9am. I ended up having to go home, where the puking continued and I had to use the bathroom frequently. By noon I started feeling very bloated, lethargic, having chills, abdominal pain, so I tried sleeping it off. Eventually I developed a fever and then later decided to go to the ER (especially since I have a kidney transplant and my doctors have always advised me to go if I ever develop a fever). When I got up, I felt excessively weak and needed assistance walking. I was at the hospital Thursday night, all day Friday, and was discharged until the afternoon on Saturday. The vorovirus was detected in my stool and I was given antibiotics through IV as well as fluids through the IV for hydration.
*note* I did NOT have anything to eat after the restaurant. I was unable to eat all day on Thursday. I was slowly able to start eating a little bit at the hospital on Friday and Saturday.
Also, my sister did not order sushi like I did. She only tried one roll of mine, while I ate all the rest. She did wake up on Thursday morning with bloatedness and abdominal pain.
Lastly, I do want to mention that the restaurant was lovely and the waiter was so kind, but ultimately, if I knew the food was contaminated here, I would have avoided it in general. Spent about $250 (just for my sister and I +valet parking included) only to have to be hospitalized. I have yet to also receive my hospital bill.
I genuinely hope that no one else has to experience this after coming here because it truly is a beautiful place where one expects a fine-dining experience.
