| - Here's how my experience started...
I called Sakana to see how long the wait was and they said 30 minutes. It was Saturday at 830 and all the other places had the same wait, so It was no big deal. We pulled up and put our name on the list. I was really hoping for seats at the sushi bar, but there were only 4 and they were all taken. Not a big deal - though it seemed like they could easily fit another 2 chairs up there.
We waited in line while other tables got called up - then magically, just as we were next on the list, two seats at the sushi bar opened up! The lady came over (I assumed to take us to the seats at the bar) and much to my surprise, she grabbed the two people who were AFTER us in line and showed them to the sushi bar.
Um...what? Look, if this guy is a regular (and it seemed like he was), that's cool man - but at least make a comment to us that our table would be ready in a minute. Or, I don't know - don't make it so obvious that you're just letting other people cut in line.
Considering that I'm sure I've been the recipient of a restaurateur's kindness more than a few times, I knew I couldn't be too annoyed...(though clearly, I was, as I'm writing this review from the restaurant).
Okay - so we only had to wait another 3-4 minutes - but still, it's the principle. The rest of the service was just okay.
Here's what I liked - their rolls are very inventive. The spicy rolls are actually spicy! The drinks are all 2 for 1. The food was good. The rolls weren't so doused in sauce that I couldn't taste the fish. Oh - and the honey toast is awesome. I'm saying its a 3.5 but because I like good karma, I'll round up to a 4.
