| - After reading previous reviews, I was not overly impressed by anything at Hasaki Grill on this quiet Friday evening. The music was too loud and not because it was not my flavor. The waiter, bless his heart, had no idea what to do or say. He said too much but yet did not ask enough questions. No water was offered, which I accept as the new "thing". However, once he brought over the appetizers, he failed to bring plates, silverware, or napkins. I applaud the business for creating jobs, but please know that you must provide minimal training. It might help to send the staff to other establishments to see how it is or isn't done. I am not going to knock him too bad for his lack of service because I am really happy he has a job, for now. Moving on to the food, the shrimp appetizer was artfully arranged and the shrimp was tasty; however, we had to request silverware and ginger sauce to make use of the ample serving of lettuce and carrots that was served with the appetizer. My entree, shrimp with broccoli (served with fried rice and sweet carrots) was nothing special. The wine list is very limited and as expected, the waiter was unable to offer any suggestions as they had recently received their liquor license. It is my guess that the Uptown lunch crowd may keep this restaurant in business as only two other tables were occupied in the tastefully decorated restaurant. I will make another visit to Hasaki to check out the sushi - hopefully, it will not disappoint...and I will gladly update this review at that time.
