I stopped at Sake because I had arrived early for a movie right around the corner. Saw the half price sush/$5 martini sign and couldn't resist! When I came in, I was immediately impressed by the atmosphere/decor, and the happy hour menu is wonderful with tons of choices.
Food and service were both WAY above expectations- excellent in all respects! The spicy tuna roll/individual pieces of sush I ordered (including bbq eel and squid) were absolutely outstanding- super fresh and uniformly delicious. All of the choices were very reasonable- the happy hour is a phenomenal value. Great melon martini too! A friend joined me who is on a very restricted diet, and was allowed to eat her snack at the table in addition to sharing some sushi. We really appreciated their accommodation.
Our waiter John was incredible- super helpful, nice, responsive, easy to talk to, etc. etc. Couldn't ask for better service! Some things took awhile to arrive, expected given the labor intensive nature of sushi-t John was super proactive and brought the check, etc. ahead of time so I'd make it to the movie on time!
Overall a perfect experience- I'll definitely be bringing friends back here soon. Can't believe I hadn't tried it before. I'm planning to sit at the sushi counter next time.
Really can't imagine why anyone would be disappointed in this place- obviously some folks felt haven't had great experiences, but mine was absolutely perfect!
