I was so excited for this restaurant to open up, hoping it would fill a Westside void of good sushi places. Unfortunately, it misses the mark.
Other than a cool atmosphere, that's all that's really good about it. When we went, we didn't want to wait for a table and sat at that bar. The bartender initially was nice but then I observed him flirting with the servers while we just waited to get his attention to order our drinks (mind you, there was only one other couple at the bar). We waited awhile for drinks before another bartender realized that they were sitting at the service counter. The oriGinal bartender didn't really apologize. He just said he was on auto pilot. Ok....
Thank goodness the drinks were good. But.... The food wasn't. We ordered a traditional spicy tuna and one of the house special rolls, the bayside. I could have gone to constantino's market (aka a grocery store) for better sushi. The bayside left a weird after taste. Overall, the sushi wasn't worth the money. Plus when the manager delivered the food to us, he didn't even notice that we didn't have silverware or plates.
I might consider going back for a happy hour because I liked the drinks and maybe try the appetizers or streamed buns but I'm not counting on it. I'm truly bummed this place didn't work out.
