| - Please consider this a 3.5 star review. ;)
The food was epic, and has been well documented in pictures and prose on these pages. If you like imaginative eats, and are open to some wild protein-fruit combinations, get over there and try it.
Unfortunately, the second line service we received was very poor... and unbefitting of the food and the atmosphere. Our server (Gene, I think his name was?) was great. Deep knowledge of the menu and was working his ass off. The busser/helper dudes, though, were in way over their heads. One guy, after delivering some nigiri sushi, said 'I'll be right back with wasabi, ginger, and soy for you'. Never came. Tired of sitting there watching my sushi get less fresh by the moment, I flagged him down, and he apologetically said he'd bring it right over. HE. FORGOT. AGAIN. Having to ask three times for the same thing is crazy. And I'm really not a picky diner... but we're talking about a SUSHI BAR where traditional accoutrements should be provided on an anticipatory basis. Another guy accidentally dumped so much water on the table next to us, I thought there was an ice bucket challenge going down. Anyway, we'll go back and give it another shot. The food was that good. Bonus tip: The $8 Chardonnay on the list is surprisingly delicious for the price point and goes great with everything we tried on the menu.
