| - After reading the reviews for this place, I was really excited to try their food. But that was short lived.....
It was voted one of the top 10 sushi places in the US by Bon Appetite magazine. Really? I'm not going to say I'm a sushi expert, but I have had some pretty amazing sushi in Chicago, Honolulu, and Vegas. Their sushi was nowhere near as awesome as some of the places I've been.
The place is fancy. They did not spare any expense with the decor, with one exception...the fake flowers near the enterence....not something i would pick, but we'll look past that. My friend and I order a glass of wine...and then didn't see our server for another 15 minutes. We'll look past that too. And then the food came.....
We ordered the butterfish and sweet potatoes with some sort of dipping sauce. It was middle of the road, not bad, but didn't wow me. The sauce they were ranting and raving about wasn't that great (maybe that's why I can't remember the name.....) We also got the scallop appetizer...also sub-par. Then came the rolls. We ordered the unagi, special serrano, spicy tuna, spicy avocado, and soft crab rolls. The best was probably the serrano. The rice was perfectly cooked, I'll give them that.
The food was just ok, but definitely not worth the price. Sure, the place is really nice, and your date would probably be super impressed, but there are plenty of amazing restaurants in the area. And Hiro Sushi is just 10 minutes up the road....
