I love this place. The presentation is beautiful. The sushi servings ample. The sake delicious. Every time I have gone there, the food was excellent. The original sushi rolls were decadent. The service was great all but once. Avoid the blonde waitress. Usually the sushi is on your table before you can close your menu (when not too busy). But that fateful night, it took 30 minutes for our drinks, and 90 minutes for appetizers. Not the chefs' or food runners' faults either. This particular waitress treated her tables as second-rate citizens. Very coarse individual. That is not a good representation of the restaurant as a whole. As an entity, the restaurant is a wonderful clash between retro american and asian stylings, with wonderful food to match. Always had a great time. Wonderful place for the first date. The menu provides many ice breakers, and the ambience is eclectic and relaxed.
Pros: Original sushi rolls, interesting apps, sake selection is otherworldly
Cons: One bad apple almost ruined it, almost
