| - I've been here quite a few times and all of my experiences have been very similar.
First, the food: 4 Stars. Everything I've tasted is good! I'm a sucker for the Gojira roll and Boyfriend gets the Viva Las Vegas roll. The appetizers are tasty and the nigiri doesn't seem to disappoint. The tempura-fried ice cream is one of my all-time favorite desserts. However, I'd like a bit more bang for my buck. We know to come here when we're not super hungry, since we can't afford to stuff ourselves here. It's a nice date-night treat though.
Second, the service: 3 Stars. It definitely leaves something to be desired. It's not that the waitresses are unfriendly; it's more an issue with the timing of the meal. It's not at all uncommon for one diner to have finished their roll before another diner receives theirs. Given that, in my case, all the food is ordered (and should be put into the kitchen) at the same time, it should all come out together. Even a delay of a couple of minutes is fine, but 15-20 minutes? Not acceptable.
*For those of you doing the math and wondering why RA gets 1 star, not the 3.5 star average you'd assume based on the above, read on:
There is one thing that RA could do to turn this 1 star review into a 4 star one. It's incredibly simple and won't cost them a dime. For the love of all things holy, TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! It's so loud that you have to yell in order to be heard by the person sitting next to you. It's obnoxious and serves no purpose. Loud music is great, but not when you're trying to have a nice dinner and, you know, speak to your dining buddy.
All in all, despite actually wanting to go back (as I said, date-night treat!), we won't be returning until the music is turned down. It really, really kills what would otherwise be a perfectly wonderful dining experience. RA, please fix!!!
