| - I really wanted to like Yellowtail, but it was such a disappointment. My co-worker and I arrived to our party's reservation (of about ~12 people) late and ordered our entrees late, but that should mean that everyone else's entree orders should arrive on time, right?!?! Wrong.
We had the Big Eye Tuna Pizza, Yellowtail Jalapeno, and Tempura Alaskan King Crab (which is supposedly highly praised by the Food Network). I liked the tuna pizza, but mostly because I liked the truffle oil. The yellowtail tasted odd to me but that could be that I'm not a fan of orange flavored things and it's sitting in a blood orange sauce. Meh, I think it was just not for me. I had high hopes for the crab tempura given our waiter's high praise for it, but it was lackluster and did not wow me at all. Tasted exactly like what it sounds like. :/ What's up with that Food Network? I thought this was supposed to be good!
Given our lackluster appetizers, I was hoping our entrees would make up for it. I had a taste of the High Steak Roll, Crispy Kalbi Roll, and Jidori Chicken and again... lackluster. :c I could only taste the A-1 sauce in my steak roll and mostly only mayo from the coleslaw on my kalbi roll. The rolls were overly sauced making it hard to even taste anything else! Luckily the chicken was not so bad, and actually quite tasty and tender. Thank goodness. But despite the chicken, it didn't save this place from the mediocre food and long wait times!
Throughout dinner, everyone's food came out at various times so one or two people would get their food, while the other ten would sit there waiting. And then another person gets their food 15 minutes later, while the other nine sit there waiting. And then another one or two people would get their food 15 minutes later, while the other seven or eight people would sit there waiting... you get the idea. By the time everyone's food came out and decided to order dessert, it took another half hour before it was brought out! To the point, where we almost wanted to just call it quits and pay just to leave. After having the dessert, it wasn't even worth the time we spent waiting... sigh. It made the wait that much more terrible. :c This resulted in an 3.5+ hour, $$$$ mediocre dinner. :c Lots of thumbs down. Waste of time and money if you ask me.
