The aesthetics of this place is impressive. There is really no environment like it in Madison. The fish is of great quality. The rolls are over the top and incorporate too many ingredients that take away from the flavor of the fish.
The biggest disappointment about this place is the actual sushi experience. If I sit at the sushi bar I want to interact with my sushi Chef. When you sit at the sushi bar at Red you place all orders with a server and have no interaction with the sushi chef. The sushi chefs at Red are robots cranking out what ever come out of the printer. Before I order omakase I want to know that my sushi Chef knows what he is doing and that is not an option here.
In all I recommend this place for cocktails and the hot food which is done very well. But when it comes to sushi save your money for a better sushi experience which does not exist in Madison yet.
