    Service was slow. Table was not ready when we arrived for our reservation. Sushi was only so-so. Took forever to get our waters refilled. There are better places.

    We had a reservation and arrived right on time. There was not a host to greet us for several minutes. When we were greeted we were not led to our booth. It was just pointed out to us. After we sat down our menus were literally tossed on our table. Honestly I found it to be quite funny, but I am pretty laid back. Not sure most would be impressed by that kind of service. Fortunately, we had an excellent waiter. And the food was excellent. I’m sure we will return, and I’ll be curious to see how we are greeted. 😊

    We went with another couple for dinner before a show at the Civic Center. We love the “house” edamame! Awesome! Good wine and beer selection. Sushi is outstanding. Good service, too!
