review :: The main reason we picked eating at this location was the centrality of it. My family lives up north and I on the west side of town, so it was a good medium. I was able to make reservations, seeing as it was Mother's Day weekend, I didn't want to chance of waiting a long time.
When we arrived, our table was already set because of the reservation. We were promptly greeted by our waiter for our beverage order. That was about the last time we were seen promptly. The wait between our beverages, placing the order and receiving our appetizer was a bit delayed. We were also waiting a good while before getting our drinks refilled with water. I did flag down a waitress but she did not come back to fill our drinks after she said she'd be back with more water. The wait between our appetizer to entrees was a little over 45 minutes. I even turned around to one of the sushi chef's, who looked like the manager, to ask to send a waiter to our table. Needless to say, the restaurant was sorely understaffed in regards to waitstaff and hostess. Our waiter did apologize for the delay, since they were taking care of the to-go orders. Note: there were three waiters/waitresses and when I turned to get someone's attention, all three were taking care of the to-go orders, while the restaurant was filling up with people and diners were waiting on their food.
When the food did finally arrived, we were underwhelmed. With the prices of the sushi rolls, we were expecting bigger portions. Sadly to say, we received small portions with a big price tag. The sushi rolls did taste fresh, but the service and portion left me feeling hungry for something else.
Maybe we caught them at a bad time, but as far as first impressions go, I do not think I will be coming back. Which is unfortunate, because I feel that they could do so much to help with the problem that was presented.
