| - Made reservation for a Friday at 5.45. Arrived on time and our table was ready. Good thing we had res---place was PACKED with Happy Hour people!!!! Waitress dropped by table to say she would be "right with us" about four times, but we did not give our drink and appy orders until about 6.10. Happily, waitress said she'd make sure we got the HH pricing. It took about 20 minutes to get our drinks, another 15 for food. We almost got irritated enough to bail, but then were convinced to stay---thank goodness we did. As HH crowd cleared, service improved IMMENSELY. And food---quality and quantities rocked! DS and I each started with avocado and ahi poke ($7). HUGE portions. Six poke laden chips on a narrow 12 inch platter...we could easily have shared, but son and I each managed to dispose of our share. DH got the tempura fried shrimp ($4). Five 4-5 inch shrimp perfectly encrusted in a light, crisp tempura with a yummy dipping sauce. The four of us all had the miso soup, which was okay, but I like Yume's better. Personal taste. For entree, DH got the chicken teriyaki, which he said was "f'ing-tastic". (Language!) DS got the creamy baked lobster roll, spicy tuna roll, and fire dragon roll. DSG got two vegetable rolls. I got the sashimi platter with 5 different fish. Huge quantities, everything so fresh and delicious and beautifully presented. As I said, our service was much improved once HH crowd dispersed. Ambiance was hipster and VERY loud. Wish we had dined on the patio, which seemed quieter. DH and I can't return. I want to try the citrus-basil martini with the ahi poke while sitting on the patio on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I just know that would be great!
