| - Nice location, overlooking the intersection of State and Johnson. Trying to be upscale but feels like it was thrown together in a couple weeks. The amount of money they put into it (or lack thereof) does not match the fact that almost everything on the menu is overpriced.
The bartenders struggled serving a group of 5, taking a while on the first round of drinks and never asking us if wanted to order food. After eventually taking our order, they struggled with the computer for 10 minutes and then told us it might take 40 minutes to get the food.
The sake bombs were a disaster, with barely any beer in an awkward cup that trapped the shot glass. It might have had something to do with the fact that the bartender admitted he had never made a sake bomb.
We got our appetizer in the middle of the sake bomb pouring. The tuna tartar looked like carpaccio but tasted great. We drank our sake bombs, ate the tuna, then received another plate for free (screw ups sometimes work in your favor).
The wait for food wasn't that bad, but we got half our meal and half our second round of drinks at the same time.
The sushi was actually pretty good. Everyone was happy with their rolls and they even made the spicy tuna extra spicy per our request.
In the end, they comped us the sake bombs and served us good sushi, so I gave them an extra star and am holding out hope that they replace their bartenders and manager. This really is a great location and I enjoyed everything that came out of the kitchen, but they've got to improve the interior, service, and pricing.
