| - Last night was my second time going to Blue Wasabi, although it's been 3 years since the last. I actually went there with a group of business associates and when I had called to reserve a table for 10 I was told that I couldn't reserve one. I showed up about an hour earlier than my coworkers in order to save a table and informed the hostesses that the rest of my party would be about an hour. They did not have a problem with it and quickly sat me. About an hour later the manager came up to me and told me, very rudely, that I'd been there for an hour and a half (actually, it was just one hour) and that my party would need to show up soon or he'd have to give my table away. He acted like I had planned it this way and had not informed the hostesses, which is not what happened. Five minutes later my party started arriving but the manager chose to seat part of my table anyway with another party. He was beyond rude and condescending. I'm with a medical practice, the group I was meeting with are all surgeons and doctors. It's difficult for us to show up at a scheduled time because surgeries sometimes go longer than expected. We had hoped to make it in time for happy hour and in fact, everybody did, but the waiter did not take their orders on time so they missed the happy hour prices. I ordered two martinis, a small salad and one of the light entrees, everything but the salad was happy hour price or half price and my bill was $29. The drinks were weak, but overpriced and the food was very small portions. This place is way overpriced and not a place I'd ever go to to meet up with friends again. They seem to care more about getting people in and out as quickly as possible and discourage you from enjoying a meal with friends. Needless to say none of us will be back.
