My whole night at Sushi Roku was full of "I should have known better...."
I should have known better to not trust the front desk folks at my hotel to make a restaurant recommendation..... should have trusted YELP
I should have known better that trendy and hip don't always equal quality dinning .... should have consulted YELP
I should have known better ... when the hostess tells you 30 minutes for the next table and you don't get seated after waiting for a good 45 minutes, its time to get the hell out ..... YELP would have saved me
I should have known better .... when you're waiting for a table and you see a sea full of empty tables that the restaurant could care less if you are waiting or not ..... god YELP me
I should have known better when the restaurant never seats you at a table, keeps making up excuses as to why you can't sit down, you find a bug in your drink and they only comp you for part of your bill .... its time to give that place a big YELPIN review
Ok so bottom line ...
Sushi Roku is a trendy place in Scottsdale, its kind of hip.. but again you're in Scottsdale
I should have known better and left restaurant after being told it would take 30 minutes to get a table. But instead I decided to take my chances and that was my bad.
The saving graces of the night was my dinner party, and the very helpful and wonderful waiter STAN. Stan allowed me to give Roku an extra star.
Sum it up:
Roku ain't worth it... move on
