| - My friend wanted to go out for Sushi, but we only had an hour or so to eat between commitments. So she chose the Globefish because it was close to our second destination.. We were seated fairly quickly, although the person at the counter was very busy with take out orders and failed to mention there actually was a place to sit while waiting for our table. The foyer got a little crowded with the take out customers and the waiting diners and the paying diners. The decor is very simple, almost plain. It's a fairly bright place, the better to see your food. And it is very fine food.
We tried the octopus croquettes, which were suprisingly tender but tongue burning hot inside. Each appetizer we tried was a new variation of delicious.
Our server was polite, classy and accomodating. He was able to split the bill for us when I realized that my AMEX was not accepted there.
Globefish is noted for their very good Sake selection. We chose a Junmai style of Sake, Indigo Wind. Although only one small crockery cup of the sparkling beverage each came out of our 'bottle', it was a lovely dry drink with a hint of wine more than rice in the flavour.
A word of caution. Globefish is an intense taste experience, with a variety of interesting offerings. If you are looking for a large, filling meal, you'll spend quite a bit of money.
Finally, it is a great place to people watch and the tables are close enough together that they could be chartiably be called 'intimately placed'. But again, a caution, if you were planning to discuss a sensitive issue over dinner, don't do it at Globefish!
