"I went to Stingray for a co-workers birthday and was both delighted and disappointed.\n\nWhen we arrived, we told the hostess we had reservations which she confirmed. Not two minutes later did Fabio (yes, as in \"I can't believe it's not butter...SPREAD\") walked in with his homies (about the same number of people we were with), talked to the hostess, and jacked our table. Yea, I know, I'm no celebrity but it was a bad start to the celebration. We were seated about 20 min later.\n\nOf course, our server happened to be Fabio's as well and his table took up most of her time. We waited about 10 minutes for waters and about another 15 minutes for our drinks. Now, I used to wait tables so I know this wasn't all her fault but I was surprised at the lag times. She was a super nice girl so we just brushed it off and relaxed with our drinks (which were delish!). We ordered, no problems.\n\nEverything came out together (always a plus!) and, with the amount of sushi we got (there were 8 of us), everything was correct! Big kudos to her...I got confused just ordering it! The sushi we ordered was fresh but wasn't stellar. I wasn't expecting the most amazing sushi ever but for what we were paying, I was hoping for something a little better.\n\nIt took about 20 minutes to get the bill after we asked. And, of course, like the rest of the chicks in the place, we asked Fabio for a picture before we left. \n\nAll in all, it was a pleasant experience. I think next time I go it will be for happy hour to get better prices. My only hiccup was the lag time on drinks...one thing I learned waiting tables was keep the drinks coming. Our server was very nice and the food was decent not earth-shattering.\n\nof course, looking at Fabs didn't hurt either."^^ . "2"^^ .
