I have been here twice, both times during happy hour, and I have to say that I disagree with most of the reviews here.
First off - I did valet my car. A 2004 Kia Sedona. There were people there with nice cars, but it was hardly a car show. Yep, rich people drive nice cars. Im not jealous. I dont think the guy driving the Sentra in front of me in the Valet line was to concerned either.
Secondly - the women. Yep. There are lots of dressed up Scottsdale women here. Lots of older guys too. I tend not to pay attention to either when I go out, so I dont know how everyone was behaving. I go with my girlfriend. I will leave these comments to the people watchers.
Third - the food. Sushi is pretty much all I eat when I come here. I find it to be quite delicious. I have been to dozens of sushi restaurants around Phoenix, Seattle, and California. The sushi here is good. Consistent quality, good selection.
The service - It can be a little difficult to get the waiters attention. I think that has to do with what I am going to say next.
I think my only complaint is how loud the music has been on occasion. When I am having to shout to talk to my girlfriend, or I cant hear the sushi chef talking 2 feet in front of me, its getting a little stupid.
I think whoever started the loud music trend at these hip restaurants should be publicly flogged. Hearing aids arent on the menu.
