| - Sat at the sushi bar on a bustling Tuesday night when I was in town for a work visit last week. It was pretty busy with only a few seats available at either the bar or sushi bar. I was sandwiched between a quiet couple and a pair of loud college girls who were flirting with one of the sushi chefs.
The waitress greeted me after I was seated and gave me some time to look over the menu. After placing my order, she checked in one other time to see if I was okay and let me know my food was coming shortly. I ordered the Tuna Sampler, which was 5 pieces: one each of toro, bluefin, bigeye, yellowtail, and albacore nigiri. Maybe it was because I was by myself and time seemed to go by slower, but it took a long time to receive my food, about 40 minutes. It seemed like I wasn't the only one since I overheard the waitress ask for status for another table who was waiting for their food. There were so many rolls being made in front of me, lined up to be cut and plated so they were definitely busy. The fish itself was good, not too thickly cut. It's a good sign that the place was packed, but they can definitely work on improving efficiency.
