| - Let me start by saying that the food was excellent. The reason the place doesn't get 5 or even 4 stars is the service was NOT on the up and up.
I went with 5 other guys celebrating a friend's last days as a bachelor. When we arrived we were told by our waiter that "we don't have printed menus, but tell me what types of things you like and I'll customize the menu for you". Odd... This should have raised a red flag right there.
"Well, obviously we'd like some sushi. That's why we're here."
"Any non-sushi eaters?"
A couple of guys raise their hands...
"Yeah, bring out a chicken dish or something else non-seafood."
"Okay, I'll get you guys started."
The waiter started bringing out food one platter at a time. Lobster Tail salad... Kobe Beef Carpacio (something like that)... Some kind of tasty dumplings... 3 complete fillet mignon dinners... and after a break... 2 HUGE platters of sushi!! When all was said and done, we had been brought enough food for probably 10-12 very hungry people! Our "customized" menu for 6 people consisted of 5 large platters of food PLUS 3 complete steak dinners.
When we questioned our waiter, his response was "Well that's what you said you wanted." We certainly did NOT want enough food for 12 people. By the time the sushi came out, we were all stuffed... and this was a group of 6 guys that can really eat. Of course, we were charged for all of this excessive food that ended up going to waste. The bill was $1200... $200 bucks a head. I don't think I would have had a problem paying $200 for dinner, it was the fact that I had to pay for all this extra food that was unnecessary that bothered me.
To add insult to injury, as we were leaving the restaurant, a table was being seated right in front of us... all the diners had menus in hand.
