This was by far the worst experience I've had in a while.
Not only does Tatami boast inventive sushi with a tropical atmosphere, they have a seemingly reliable location in the Old Port of Montreal. What could go wrong?
First of all, I'm sure that the sushi chef measures his rolls with a toonie. The rolls are small, mushy and they fall apart upon first contact with chop sticks. When you order, be prepared to get half of your meal. Only when I received my 8 out of 16 pieces was I told that they have run out of such things as avocado and scallop. I had to ask to order something else when the waitress looked at me with a blank stare.
This brings me to service. You know that charming man with the squeegee as you get off the Ville Marie? He beats these people ten fold in the service department. Having to ask for a menu, a glass of water and then to order more sushi because I wasn't told in advance that they have run out of "fundamentals" is unacceptable and lazy service. Then, to add insult to injury, the bill took over 20 minutes to settle.
And you know those "salt water tanks" tables? They are fishless and assume all of the legroom leaving diners to sit sideways.
Sometimes, I can forget about terrible service when I'm saturated in a perfect meal- in this case, I'm trying to forget about the whole thing.
Go somewhere else to spend a fortune. This isn't worth it.
