| - I would say it tasted like store bought sushi, but I would never insult Whole Foods like that.
We tried Blue Fin because it was closer to my neighborhood than my go-to spot. The reviews on Yelp (thanks guys -_-) seemed great, so we decided to try it. How can I put this...Blue Fin is like that pathetic ex boyfriend that you refuse to waste your unlimited text messages on.
At the start of our meal, we were greeted by a smile-less "have you been helped already?" Now keep in mind this is a sit down sushi restaurant, not a fast food establishment. Shortly after sunshine took our orders, the appetizers arrived. It must've been fate or something because I've always wanted to try really chewy calamari! The kind where you take one bight, and the whole thing comes out of the skin because it was cooked so well! How did they know?!!
Then we received our rolls. Are you people effing kidding me? Yes, the rolls are big, but I prefer quality over quantity. They are made with too much overcooked rice and last week's catch of the day. So gross. So once our first roll came out, we decided to be brave and try other things off the menu since we ordered the all you can eat. Where was our server? In the corner, staring blankly at the t.v above our table. I was staring at her, said excuse me, sent a pigeon, and shot a flare gun trying to get her attention...NOPE.
Our busser was great! He took our drink orders, cleared our dishes, took the majority of our food orders and wait...where was our waitress?? Standing in the corner of the 10x10 box, (in which they call a restaurant) staring at the t.v and checking her phone. You could tell it was the type of place where they shared tips, otherwise I would've would've only gave 10%. I really hope he got my tip because she didn't deserve it.
At the end of our meal, she just drops off the check. No smile, no "thank you" nothing. So that's when I asked "were you our server?" She said "yes". To which I replied "really? Cause the busser took most of our orders while you were just standing in the corner watching tv." "Then she said "the bussers are supposed to do that, whoever is closer. I did not watch tv at all." "Do you feel like you did a good job? Cause I did not." Her response was "I'm sorry you feel that way." Thank you for your backwards apology sweetie. I really appreciated it. I'm sorry too. I'm sorry that not only was the food disgusting, so was your attitude.
To put it simply, our server's name was Jin. If she's not your server, I'm pretty sure you'll have a tolerable experience. If she is, hold up your cross and run away!!
