| - I walked into Sushi Eye with some good expectations. We called ahead to see if they were open on Labor Day last month and were told, "Please, come on in!" My favorite part of a weekday holiday? Happy Hour typically starts at 3 p.m. My friend and I had finished up a fab shopping day at IKEA and walked into their trendy restaurant (that was barely abuzz) starving.
Upon looking at the Happy Hour menu, we decided on several delicious-sounding items (I was extremely impressed by the range and number of dishes from appetizers to rolls). Then, upon ordering, the waitress looked at us and said, "Oh sorry, we aren't doing Happy Hour today." ... Are you kidding me? I just smiled and looked at the menu quickly to see if I'd missed the proviso that states, "Except for Holidays"... Nope, doesn't exist. I looked back up and simply said, "Huh, well I have heard great things about the happy hour and that is the reason that we came here." She just awkwardly smiled and said, "Well can I get something else for you?"
I could have made a ruckus. I could have asked for the manager, but I know that her manager is the one that put the policy in place. False advertisement is bad business! We just ordered off of the regular menu and sucked it up. They were lucky that their spicy tuna poppers and eel rolls are delicious and took some notches down on my sass.
I would like to point out that we ordered about 1/3 of what we would have and spent two times as much. Womp womp. That's not business savvy.
