| - So, to get it out of the way, the Butterfish Tataki is overrated. It was our least favorite thing. $9 (on happy hour, normally $11) for 5 teeny tiny pieces of sashimi with white asparagus inside. It tastes about as good as it sounds.
For the good stuff, and I mean, really good:
I had the organic chicken breast and there wasn't a speck left on my plate. My husband had the cod which was also good but the sauce had a weird texture and color so it detracted from the taste of the fish, which was beautifully done. However, after waiting about 30 minutes for the fish, the owner (I'm guessing) came by and said the chef was unhappy with the way the first cod turned out and he was re-firing it and it would be a few more minutes. No problem, but maybe offer us a sushi roll or dessert as a show of good faith. Otherwise, just don't come by at all - it makes your staff seem incompetent and you seem cheap.
Sides are sold separately, ranging from $5-11. For $5, we got 4 spears of asparagus that was just alright. As I'm writing this review I changed from 4 stars to 3 because the more I think about it, the more it was just "A-OK." We also had the edamame and California roll - not mind-blowing.
One more thing... the waitress was not personable, at all, and neither was the bartender. I'm confused by all the reviews that rave about the service. I must have said "thank you" to the waitress 10 times (for bringing our food, filling our waters, taking our plates, bringing our check, etc.) and not one time did she say anything back, or even smile/make eye contact. She just briskly walked away from the table. It was like being on a bad blind date, really awkward.
I had purchased a Groupon to use here, and our total was $80 (after the discount was applied). I can't say that the entire experience was worth $120.
