| - I am terribly disappointed. This was one of my fav local places which has steadily gone downhill and tonight's dinner will be my last there. The place used to have a hip groove to it with dark tables and white textured leatherette chairs. Now the tables are covered with atrocious white polyester table cloths and white butcher paper. The fabric bench I sat on had food stains. The AYCE food trough mentality has become the norm.
I ordered my favourite rainbow roll ala carte. I was checking in with friends on social media while I waited and a baby screamed. The couple in the table across from me were puzzling over an iPad menu at their table, trying to identify the plate in front of them.
"Oh, that's a rainbow roll," I told them. "I ordered one, too."
"Then this must be yours," says the guy, grabbing the plate. "Let me bring it over."
"No, no," I say. "It's yours now."
The server comes by, points to the plate and asks a question, then picks up the plate from their table and brings it to me. I am aghast. I don't even know how to refuse it. But I'm not eating it. The server clues in, asks if anything is wrong. I tell her I'd rather have my own rainbow roll than somebody else's.
Yes, they replaced it. But it was a pale imitation of my fav. No tuna. One measly strip of salmon, a measly strip of white 'tuna' (ick) and lots of avocado. I just took down the luscious picture of their rainbow roll I posted about 3 years ago. It's not the same restaurant and I wouldn't want anyone to be tricked into believing it was.
