Every time we come here, they either close early or have major service issues. On one visit during a busy weekend, we waited over three hours for our sushi while they continued seating new tables. The food never arrived, and we ended up leaving to go eat elsewhere. If the kitchen doesn’t have the capacity to serve everyone in a reasonable amount of time, they shouldn’t continue seating guests. We’ve been told they often have only one person working in the kitchen, which makes the decision to keep seating customers even more confusing. Unfortunately, the staff has consistently come across as rude and dismissive, acting like the delays aren’t their responsibility. We’ve never received a sincere apology for the poor service. I’ve eaten at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants and many of the finest restaurants South Florida has to offer. I also have experience working in multiple restaurants, so I understand firsthand how well-run restaurants operate. I know that busy nights, staffing shortages, and unexpected challenges happen. What separates a good restaurant from a poorly managed one is how those situations are handled. Honest communication, realistic wait times, and treating gue

The sushi was incredible. Very fresh, very fatty, and very delicious. I tried the monkfish liver and the sashimi dinner, and I was not disappointed at all. The only negative mark I would give would be the wait time for orders, as I was seated for quite some time before getting my food. It was worth the wait, however, and I will be dining here again.

Tried Izzy’s and it did not disappoint! We had the Volcano Maki, T Otoro, Otoro, and a few other rolls. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. I also had a rice lager, which I typically don’t like, but this one was perfect. It was light, smooth, and didn’t pack too much of a punch like lagers usually do for me. Will definitely be back!😊🍣

My food was delicious! Edamame hummus and garlic naan is a must get. Our waitress Anna was very nice and helpful, and the restaurant is pretty and cozy. Only thing is that they ran out of a lot of things. We were really excited to try the pork belly, but they were out today.

Best sushi, sashimi, and sake selection in Tallahassee!!! As someone who is Hawaii-raised & blessed to have had more fish than I could eat while in Japan, this is truly a fantastic place. This place has a great izakaya, especially after work, atmosphere! A big highlight is the fish — completely odorless & super vibrant, indicating just how fresh it is. 🍣⭐️ Despite only the chef & our server/bartender, Lillian, being present on a pretty busy Monday night, service was excellent. Lillian was more than fantastic at creating delicious drinks & providing amazing service while managing tables both inside and outside. She totally made our night! We ordered the Large Loveboat alongside a few drinks to celebrate our anniversary, and just the quality of fish itself is worth every penny. The attached picture is just the specialty rolls! We were too excited to eat, we forgot about taking a picture of the boat itself lol! We could truly taste the skill, hard-work, and dedication of the chef. Side note, definitely order the Sake & Soda cocktail — I could literally drink those till I can’t anymore! After our experience, we would not hesitate to try Izzy again, especially on Sunday when chef’s
