| - Never. Again. *hork*
I have been to this location a couple of times. My friends LOVE this place, and I really wanted to at least like it. But here I sit typing out my review and fighting the urge to double over the trash can at my desk. I can't remember the last time I felt so sick!
A few things about last night's dinner stand out...as negative. But I'll start with the positive, which bumped the review up from 1 star to 2.
POSITIVE:
Our waitress was very friendly and chipper.
NEGATIVE:
But alas, it was not enough. We ordered edamame, 4 rolls and a couple of sake bombers...um...but the "shot glass" was too big to fit in the glass...so that no worky.
The waitress asked if we wanted everything to come at once or if she should bring them out as they were prepared...we chose the latter...
1) we never got our edamame,
2) it took 30 minutes before the first roll came out (with no wasabi or ginger??), the next 2 rolls took an additional 30 minutes, and the 4th roll was about 5-10 minutes after that...
3) the spicy yellowtail (roll #3) had obviously turned, it smelled like bad fish, which I unfortunately didn't realize until it had already made it's way into my mouth...I felt instantly sick and haven't been right since then, which means I didn't even get to enjoy a taste of the 4th roll because I didn't trust it anymore.
POSITIVE:
She took the yellowtail off our bill...which seems like it would be a no-brainer, but you never know these days.
NEGATIVE:
No apology for serving us bad fish, and no acknowledgment from the mgr on duty, which should be standard operating procedure at a restaurant.
Also, the acoustics are not conducive to having any sort of conversation. The music was at a decent level, but for some reason, the place is just REALLY loud.
And finally, and this is just a matter of personal preference, I'm not a fan of the seating arrangement. It's set up in a way so that you are rubbing elbows with other parties and unable to avoid being all up in their kool-aid...
POSITIVE:
For the moment, I'm still alive (which feels like a negative right now, but I'm hoping that this current wave of nausea will be the last).
