    Shoddy execution and service for a LEYE RESTAURANT and I used to work at the original Big Bowl. Too many instances to discribe.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience fell short, especially knowing that you have a personal connection to Lettuce and the original Big Bowl. As you are aware, this is not the standard for Lettuce especially Sushi San. While I understand there were multiple issues, I would really appreciate the chance to learn more about what went wrong so we can address it properly with the team and make improvements. Please feel free to call the restaurant and ask for Bobby, I would appreciate the opportunity to speak further and hopefully make this right.

    Our server was friendly, helpful and delightful. The food was average and the environment was a significant deviation from the Lincoln Park location which we prefer. Loud, casual and felt like we were dining in a mid-scale bar. Pricing didn’t align with environment.

    We had a wonderful experience! Food was so good and sushi was so fresh! And we just happened to arrive at the beginning of happy hour-so indulged in extra snacks and great drinks! Service was perfect. We had a great time!

    What a great experience. From the food to the service. The quality was insane. Fresh, tasty, well presented and some of the best sushi i have had. I was entertaining clients and they were blown away by the level of goodness. The whisky selection was unreal and mouth watering , the private saki label was simply excellent. Will 100% be coming back upon my next business trips and will refer anyone asking for sushi in the future. Keep up the excellent food. RM
