| - I have mixed feelings about this location. I used to love Globefish (Chinook) - keywords: used to. It can ascend to the heavens into a blissful euphoria just as quickly as it can descend into a chaotic frenzy. It is one rollercoaster ride I don't want to ride on very often.
I find it is a hit-and-miss with seating arrangements and waiting times. The concierge used to accept phone numbers to call you when your table was ready; in this fashion, you were free to roam the mall. They no longer permit this option - they expect you to wait in that chicken coop of a waiting room. It feels like you're a farm animal crammed so tightly against your brethren, it's ridiculous. If you miss your name being called...you will never hear it again. I've had this happen to me on three separate occasions with different friends, and we were disgruntled and annoyed by the lack of customer service. I am surprised I behaved so patiently after we returned and finally got seated (after an hour and a half). I recommend attending during the weekdays and avoid Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening (I know, I know...blasphemous!). Thursday evening can be busy too, it depends. I am one of those crazy people that think it's never worth it to wait over an hour for food, no matter how delicious it is. I would only wait if it cured every disease known to man.
I find the food is quite delicious, although very expensive. The sashimi portions have improved since my last encounter, but is still a far cry from where it could be. Speaking of size, the restaurant interior is tiny - whether it is defined as cozy or cramped, it is in the eye of the beholder. I remember my friends and family feeling claustrophobic upon our arrival on some occasions.
The service is also a hit-and-miss. If you hit a green light, you receive friendly waitresses that execute quick service. If you hit a red light, you crash headfirst into an unfriendly, slow service. I find the latest trend is to be served by multiple waitresses, which is - not surprisingly - very ineffective. Food items leave the kitchen whenever they feel like it. I've had a couple of items missed completely. I remember one server being incredibly aloof and rude when this happened. I didn't give her a tip.
I may sound like a complete Scrooge in this review, but I don't like to be treated like a number or a statistic. I do return on occasion, simply because I do not have an outstanding favourite sushi place as of yet.
