| - I'm a sushi fan. But not a sushi connoisseur. However, my friend and his wife are both foodies, and are absolutely very picky about their sushi.
We met up for lunch, as I was anxious to learn about their recent safari adventure in South Africa. They took their family and their employees as a reward for having a great fiscal year.
They were being very picky, but I wasn't. After all, it was lunch, and we were just catching up. We chose this place as a matter of convenience, and they were wanting some sushi.
The food was passable. But, the service was atrocious. My friends had asked for fresh wasabi, and our waiter didn't even know that it could be made fresh. Then he dared to mention that it was going to cost extra and if they were willing to pay the extra $6 for it?
That, along with the slow service, and mediocre food; it really was not a pleasant experience for me or them. I was a bit embarrassed for having chosen this venue, but I was unfamiliar with the intermediary area we chose to meet up. A few more miles east, and we would've been in desert ridge, and that would've provided a better selection, than the Norterra area.
In any case, we did enjoy each other's company. And we did get a chance to catch up since the our waiter was incognito most of the time.
I also learned that if you are willing to pay enough, a safari can actually be an experience as close to home. I thought most safaris were rough experiences. They made it sound like a very very expensive trip to the local zoo! :)
In any case, I definitely will not be back to this establishment. Utterly dreadful!
