| - I don't get why so many people are raging about this place. Here's my tale of disappointment:
Went here last night since everyone that I knew of was telling me that I gotta try it and that my fellow yelpers said some of the reviews here are just flat out lies. So I came here to accomplish both goals of getting the experience first-hand and write a honest review.
So, back to the story, I came in (had a appointment at 10pm) and I immediately notice the type of people that goes here. Let me tell you, I'm from a pretty well-off family, so I know the difference between wealthy people and snobby ones that doesn't have the money but just act like they do. And I noticed there were ton of those snob. Which is strike one on my list.
Later on at 10:10 pm I was asked to be seated in the back of the room which I'm not fond of since I prefer seating in single seat but oh well. The waiter then gave me a tour through the menu, however, he only went over wines and sake, saying how great their drinks are. I had to ask him about foods, and he wasn't really sure about the sushi when I asked him questions on how fresh it is. Minus another point.
After ordering, the waiter brought out my wine and assuming that I paid nearly $50 that I would get a pretty decent wine (and the waiter even recommended it) I was extremely dissatisfied. I've travel to France and know what good wines are, and let me tell you, the one that Baku serves you are cheap quality wines for extremely ripoff price. You can buy it for 1/3 of the cost!
Now, onto the foods.
Disappointing also... The presentation look good but the taste and quality is a c- on my book. The steak was bleh since it wasn't flavorful (even though they said they are well known with using organic charcoals to make their grill foods delicious).
The duck meats was still kind of raw (goodness gracious) and the plum didn't suit with the duck meat. Their flavors were too different to be combined which made the dish taste unsettling.
Sushi.... Just flat out no. Sushi didn't taste fresh and way too watery. And the sauce that they used did not compliment the sushi, rather it hinders it by creating sour taste.
I don't mind price when it comes to food that are worth it. But when I receive foods that are poorly made, then my friend, I'm quite pissed off. If you want to go here and show off that you have money and claim that it's delicious then go right on ahead. But if you're like me, who actually prefer true culinary skills then this place isn't worth for you to come.
Well, that is the end of my extremely long story of woe. xox
