It’s such a shame. The restaurant is just spectacular looking! But the sushi is a major let-down… we won’t be back- we would have paid those prices happily had the food been good.

We were given this as a recomendation and I suppose it’s decent, however having had excellent sushi in Los Angeles we may have become too picky. The sushi itself was good, though the chefs special carpaccio was just ok, sliced too thickly and not enough for the price. The servers were well intentioned but lacked polish for this type of higher end dining. While I appreciated my water never emptying, let it get down to at least half full, it became intrusive. The ambiance also really didn’t fit a sushi place, all dark wood, it felt like it should fit an old school steak house. I wouldn’t dine there again, sorry folks.

Good sushi and good service until about 3/4 way through when our server disappeared and was in the back laughing and chatting with a colleague for quite a while. We were finished and our plates were cleared but she. Ever returned. Finally a hostess noticed us sitting there looking around and asked if we needed anything. We said the bill, please and our server brought the check with a “have a good night”, and that was all. Kind of took away from the fairly good experience. The bus boys clearing dishes and water were very efficient.
