| - This place truly deserves MY five stars. World class service and delicious sushi is the blanket statement, here are the details:
Went to Nori on a blind date, I arrived first.
Staff:
I was promptly greeted and seated (within 30 seconds of arriving). My waitress introduced herself-- she had a stellar personality and I told her I was on a blind date. She courteously offered to "check in" with me as the night progressed to ensure I was comfortable, and she held to her word! Several times she'd pass by and look at me, I'd smile back. Everything we ordered came out quickly. Both she (our waitress) and the person I assume was the manager, poured the sake for us, even refilling our glasses as needed. She was truly one of the BEST servers I've ever had the pleasure of dining with.
Food:
I like my rolls nice and tight. We ordered three rolls: a spicy tuna, a spicy salmon and a yellowtail roll. All of them came out at the same time, all of them looked absolutely perfect. The fish was fresh and light, as it should be in sushi. The edamame that we ordered as an appetizer came steamed and warm (as it should be) and was perfectly delicious. My date ordered a bottle of cold sake (~$20) and we liked it so much, we ordered a second one, haha!
Ambiance:
Beautiful layout, with patio, booth, table and sushi bar seating available. Ambient lighting and music throughout the restaurant. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Gave off a fine-dining vibe without too much fuss.
I don't often rave, but when I do... it's for a place like Nori. It's a bright, sparkling example of how dining establishments should be.
