The latest chapter in my tumultuous love-hate relationship with Sushi Rock continued today. Went for lunch with a few friends, and as always the food was amazing. The sushi is so fresh and delicious, I almost wanna go back for round two right this minute. Sometimes I question if I really need all the food that comes in the Bento Box, but it always proves to be the best decision I make that day.
However, what's makes me contemplate ending things with my fave sushi spot is the lackluster service I seem to receive nearly every time I visit. The waiter was very snotty and acted as if it was the biggest hardship in the world to have to wait on us. He treated us with an it's-no-skin-off-my-ass-if-you're-here-or-not attitude. He wasn't attentive, and it took him approximately 15 minutes to run our credit cards. And at 2:00, it was pretty empty, so sadly I can't even cut him any slack due to busyness.
So here's the eternal question -- do you keep going back to a place and put up with crappy service because the food is so awesome it's nearly addictive? Do you say a little prayer before you go and hope that things will be different this time, dream about things having changed?
Eh, you know I'm all talk. As tough as the choice may be, I'll continue to suck it up and put up with the wait staff because I need their spicy tuna in my life. It's just too damn good. But don't say I didn't warn you.
