| - Reading previous reviews about this newly opened restaurant, it sounded like it was going through some growing pains.
However, I've driven past Sho for months now, waiting for it to open, so I wanted to see for myself.
I'm glad I did.
My friend and I met for lunch last Friday, and ordered up some of the usual suspects: 4 orders of sashimi, 2 special rolls, and Miso soup. A complimentary appetizer was dropped off at the table when we arrived. Frozen grapes were delivered at the end.
All told, it was under $50, which was reasonable for the amount of food we received.
The sashimi pieces were healthy sized, which I appreciate. The special rolls (one veggie, and one "Fire Dragon" roll) had excellent flavour. They were a hit.
Overall, everything was very good. No complaints.
The one quibble was in the "growing pains" department, as others have noted: we needed to remind our server to bring the second special roll. I think it was more the fault of the chef, not seeing it on the order card (which we filled out).
However, it was a minor issue, as we were well into everything else. And our server WAS super friendly, and otherwise attentive.
As for the restaurant itself: nicely designed, with a modern, open plan. And though I didn't visit upstairs, the lounge apparently is quite appealing as well.
I can see myself returning for dinner, and then afterwards retiring upstairs for a couple of pops.
