Great food, less than adequate service

by McBarron at Citysearch

Loved the atmosphere. Food was yummy and reasonable. They had a female sushi chef, right on! Female server with accent seemed not to be interested in giving good service. We had to flag her down several times. I used to be a server and quite honestly, they weren't that busy. I would suggest you go on a weeknight or off time. I do recommend the place despite the service.

• Pros: Great food, loved the seaweed salad and sushi AND sake
• Cons: crappy service, to be honest

Service Bad; Food Great

by tbone97202 at Citysearch

When we walked in the sushi chef looked at us if to ask if we were cool enough to eat in her restaurant. One of the servers was sweet, the other rude! rude! rude! She got our sake flight order wrong and when we mentioned it, she tried to tell us what we had really ordered. They messed up one of the rolls, but somehow got it right on the bill. Had to ask to have a bottle refill of water and another roll. Asked the server who asked the sushi chef if we could make a change (making a handroll a cut roll) the chef looked at the server (with the very same look of disgust) and said loudly No!

The food was great--a little pricey, but not too bad. I am very sorry that we won't be going back.

• Pros: Really tasty rolls and fresh seafood
• Cons: arrogant server and sushi chef

fabulous sake and Service

by Laurie11111 at Citysearch

This is a cozy little restaurant that is not fussy but has an air of relaxation. The server was able to recommend some great Sake and it was fabulous!! The sushi was some of the best I have ever tasted. The sushi chef the night we were there used some local ingredients to make it her own. Will return there often.

• Pros: attentive server, knows her Sake
• Cons: we were there late and some food had run out
