Title: Not What I Expected
-
Review:
From the buzz surrounding this restaurant and the quality of its food, I thought this was going to be a great experience, I was wrong. The atmosphere was gorgeous and the music was fine, but I thought that it was bizarre that the staff started taking away place settings and center pieces from the empty tables while they still had patrons in the restaurant (approximately an hour before closing). We ordered edamame first and it seemed sub par (it was not as good as some that I have had from other places.) Next we ordered four rolls of sushi (from their limited selection.) We sat there for an excess of thirty minutes waiting for it to arrive (this was after the edamame was cleared away.) We did not order one of their specialty dishes (although I must admit that those appeared to be exquisite.) When we finally received our food, we noticed that it was not very fresh. Now I think of myself a fairly experienced sushi eater and I have been to places all over the country, the best having been in New York City, but I have to say that if this is one of the best sushi restaurants in San Diego, I am terrified of trying some of the other less renowned eateries! The only saving grace of this place was that our server realized that we were not happy with our experience and was nice enough to offer us a complimentary desert (which just so happened to be the highlight of the meal!) This was the only reason why I gave this place a two star rating.
