    Great, unique, chef curated sushi. Fun, informative service. Very exclusive experience (have to ring the doorbell to be allowed in). A little pricey for sushi & drinks, but great for a special occasion. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Each seating caters to 10 people at a time. Their Japanese whiskeys are really really good.

    We dined once at the original Scratch Bar and once at Pasta Bar and this was our first time at Sushi Bar by Scratch and it did not disappoint. Yes, it is very expensive, but like Pasta Bar, you get an intimate culinary experience with outstanding dishes and pairings. There are only 10 diners at the sushi bar and we were lucky that the couple to the right and left of us were very social and down to earth, making the whole experience that much better. All the staff were fantastic. Professional, but not stuffy and very personable and attentive. The food was delicious and artfully presented. The drink and sake pairing were great as well. Great experience overall and I would recommend it for a splurge or special occasion meal. Keep up the great work Scratch restaurants!

    We did the New years ever omakasi here and as usual everything was on point. The experience begins with entering into the welcome bar where you receive a welcome drink which was lovely Japanese whiskey cocktail, that was refreshing and delicious. Once the rest of the ten person seating guests arrived we received two opening appetizers that were both amazing and delicate . Once entering into the main sushi bar we negotiated what we were going to drink, we went for the special sake pairing, there was also a whiskey tasting and cocktails as well as beers. This was a great idea because the sakes truly were paired with perfection and described with a true knowledge of the notes we were going to get and the effects it would have on what we were going to be eating and he couldn't have been more accurate. The tasting was 17 coarses 16 pieces of sushi and one desert . Every coarse was a masterfully crafted and layered work of art that when put into your mouth you immediately try to figure out how to keep it there forever so you don't have to swallow it and it just disappears forever. I love coming here because I'm never disappointed where so many times at other sushi bars I will get something that's too fishy or the uni isn't fresh or something is just ok. Here it's perfect every time and always a night to remember. Thank you to the the staff and chefs who work so hard to make this an experience to remember you truly are kicking ass.

    I took my husband here for a rare night out for his birthday. We had such a lovely time. It was nice to go somewhere where it felt like an experience versus just a dinner out on the town! Loved the welcome drink and snack. Looking forward to trying Pasta Bar sometime. All the staff were so nice!
