So our birthday club ended up here for dinner lat night. I had not been here in years and they have totally revamped the bottom floor and in addition they added a second level.
This place has always reminded me of a meat market where those who want to be seen are present and looking to get lucky.....snicker, snicker!
As I walked in, I really like what they have done. The floor is open and no longer dark. I love the lighting and the decor. The main bar and the sushi bar are separate and both bars are set up in squares.
Our booth was nice except is was right next to the cashiers area. Still no noise or interruption from the servers though. Our server was very nice and delivered great service to our table all night long. I wish I could remember his name as I would love to give him a shout out. I briefly mentioned to him that is was my friends birthday and he surprised her with a lovely dessert! He was the best!
I ordered the Macadamia Crusted chicken with a creamy Shoyu sauce, broccoli and for dipping a mango/pineapple sauce. It was ok but nothing I was over the moon about. The chicken was flavorful but the dish came semi-warm. I like my food served hot. The best part about the meal was the free appetizer/sushi roll that you receive upon check in. At first, they tried to tell me that the check in was only for a free appetizer so I pointed out in black and white that it also listed sushi roll. They were happy to accommodate us. We also enjoyed a pitcher of their red sangria/sake. This drink was really refreshing on such a hot evening.
Overall, the evening was a success but I can take or leave this restaurant.
