"5"^^ . "Wow. Where to begin.\n\nMy husband and I decided to check this place out on a Sunday afternoon as it has been open for about 5 months. It took over the pre-exsisting Melting Pot location. The restaurant was confusing the moment you walked up to the door.\n\nPosted on the pillar at the entrance of the property is a sign telling you it's open seating and to just find a spot. Inside there are white leather couches parked in front of a big screen television that was blaring sports. Outside you can choose to sit on the pation or at the sushi bar. I didn't realize there were actual booths to sit in until having to use the restroom which would make this open seating thing even more confusing. The property is very big so it's maze like in it's layout. I couldn't imagine how long one would wait if they chose booths in the back of the restaurant as we waited forever sitting right in front of the sushi bar! \n\nOnce we sat down, there were dirty dishes stacked up at the end of the sushi bar. The sushi chef was friendly enough and greeted us but that was it. We sat for several minutes and had to ask to get drinks and had to ask for a menu. Which was a poorly printed paper fold-up menu. Weird. He didn't seem to know who to get and didn't offer any information about the new place i.e. this is our specialty. The service all around was inconsistant, confusing, and slow. We had 3 different people coming and going and we had to grab whoever was passing to order or get more drinks. When the waitress (in their awful awful ill-fitting-out-of-place corsetts) finallly showed up, she greeted us with her pad and pen and \"what can I get you\". Personality of a glass of water. Which we were not given either. Couldn't offer any suggestions for drinks or specialties of the house, My husband and I looked at each other because it was as if we were a bother to the staff there. We started with edammame, he with spicy tuna roll , vodka tonic, and an \"Asian Pear-suasion\" cocktail. I told her I needed a moment to look at the menu but we would start with that. My husband's vodka tonic came out, then his spicy tuna rolls. He was done with BOTH before I even had edamme. I asked the sushi chef 3 times if it was coming or if he knew that status of my cocktail! \"it's coming\" was the only response I could get. Needless to say, the edammame came about 10 minutes after my husband had already finished his rolls and the drink about 5 minutes after that. Ridiculous! The rolls were very good he said although not sure if good enough to tolerate the service again. The cocktail was a little heavy and not as \"pear-like\" as I expected. Wouldn't order it again. \n\nWhen we were ready to order more, we had to grab the manager passing by to get an order in. For most of the time, he stayed at the end of the bar chit-chatting with employees and occasionally taking food out. I guess he didn't notice all of the people looking around hopeful to get some service. He started to chit chat with us about service during the week and how much he drinks at night at work. About how when people complain he just tells them to have another cocktail! Yikes.\n\nBy the time we left, we were over the whole place. The terrible and confusing, inconisistant service, over-priced food, and dark, depressing enviroment. You can go almost anywhere else and get it better, faster, and great service. As we walked out, the manager was sprawled out laying on the couch watching tv."^^ . "2011-03-16T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . .
