I really wanted to like this place. The waitress was super friendly. The patio seating was ideal with a beautiful evening patio view. But when it really comes down to it, the food and drinks were the main reason my friend and I visited the place. We decided to start off with some sake bombers, a Vegas roll and some freshwater eel. Then, everything turned sour...
* It took about 30 minutes to get our food, which seemed a bit long considering there were not many other diners. Thankfully, we had good conversation going while we waited.
* They were out of Sapporo beer (my fave with sake).
* Our Vegas roll was soooo greasy, I forced myself to have 2 pieces (thinking it was maybe just the first one). We noticed the plate had a pool of oil/grease where the pieces we had eaten had been placed. We couldn't even eat the freshwater eel or the remainder of the Vegas roll because we were so grossed out. We simply drank the remainder of our drinks, paid our bill, left a tip (the waitress was very nice and it wasn't her fault the food was so horrible, right?) and left to another bar/restaurant hoping it would redeem our wasted money/time the beginning part of the night. I did mention we did NOT want to finish our sushi because it was so greasy. The waitress simply apologized and took the food away. I kind of felt something more on the behalf of the restaurant should have happened? But maybe that's just me and what I would have done.
We will NOT be coming back and are in search of a local sushi restaurant that is up to par. Will let you know if/when we find one! :)
