    Extremely disappointed in the service, sat there over an hour after ordering before the manager came out to tell me that they had had a large $400 takeout order ahead of me?? Should I care? If I wasn’t there with family from out of town would have definitely left. Food was better than average, but not good enough to overcome the poor service. Disappointed to say the least, will not be back.

    Horrible experience. We had Dane as our server. It took us 15 minutes to get water, another 20 for a lemonade. This was just the drinks. It was not even busy, no wait, hardly any customers in the restaurant. Got our order wrong on half the items we ordered, didn’t order some items, it was just all awful. Never even apologized or tried to make things palatable. Service is a big portion of the dining out experience. I am not sure how RA is training their employees, but I won’t be going back.

    Our food came out very slowly. Half of our party was done eating before the second half even got any food. The order was quite simple, no elaborate rolls, simple nigiri, and the restaurant was almost empty, maybe 3 tables total. The California rolls that we did get were barely rolled and fell apart as soon as they were picked up. We have enjoyed this Ra in the past; however, the last few times have been a big disappointment. I don't think we will be back.

    My 2nd time here in a week. Took my twin pre-teen daughters. One had shrimp yakisoba, the other had the crunchy shrimp tempura roll. I had the lobster shrimp roll (again) and chashu tonkatsu ramen soup. It was very good! We'll have to come back again with the rest of the family.

    I would rate this place a zero if I could. I had a reservation and when we arrived, the hostess told me they were completely full and no tables were available. What was the point of the reservation then??? This would’ve been the first time we would’ve tried this place. There wasn’t a first and there will never be one. What a waist of my time. Horrible horrible horrible!!!

    Food was so tasty. Unfortunately, the service got really slow after we tried to order more rolls. Ended up paying while we were waiting for our last roll, which isn’t so odd, however we ended up canceling the last one because we would have missed our next event for the night. We waited almost 40 minutes for the last roll and they hadn’t even started making it. But the waitress was understanding and very apologetic. Overall a good experience.

    I think this was the first time I ever took just a bite and knew I could not eat it. I was so excited cause I heard good things about RA, maybe its the location but I don't think I will try again. Food was awful, I felt bad for our server, who was very nice and understanding, and tried to make experience better.

    Service was incredibly slow - and it wasn’t busy. I’m not sure if they were just short staffed or what, but it took almost an hour to get our food alone. Drinks were very slow to come out and it took a while to get the check to close our tab and leave. I’ve never had this issue at RA, especially this location. Very disappointing. On a good note, our server was very nice.

    The food is good, but the service is subpar. Sat in the bar area, ordered food. One bartender in the area to serve. Our food came out staggered, some people getting their food, others not. I finally had to ask for the rest of our food after the table next to us who came in after we did got an order of what we were waiting on. So the bartender went back and “found” the rest of our food. Not the best dining experience.

    We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation. We waited about 10 minutes before we sere seated. unfortunately our orders were not taken rightaway. this couldbe due to their computer systems being down. so we didnt get food for about a half hour. There was no mention of a free appetizer or drink for the inconvenience.

    I made a reservation on open table, and arrived on time. Stood and waited at hostess stand and were not acknowledged. After a few minutes we were seated at a table about 5 feet from the bathroom doors. Every time the doors opened I could see into the bathrooms, gross. I moved to a different seat at the table. We waited 15 minutes for a server. We ordered everything, drinks, appitizer, and entrees'. After that things went well. Food was overpriced, but not outrageously overpriced. Probably will stick to our favourite sushi place next time. This restaurant needs some Server training to succeed.

    Our server did drive bys as she slapped down our orders on our table. After three attempts to ask her about a drink I wanted to order but could not as she would just zoom by I walked to the bar myself and placed my drink order. When she returned to the table with my husband’s drink which he had ordered 10 mins prior she blamed it being late on me cutting ahead of his drink at the bar. Strange the bar tender was free and had no other orderes when I got there. She also forgot to place one of our orders. The place appeared dirty the food was meh just ok. We ended up with just drinks and an appetizer when we decided to scrap this and go to Isabella’s Love Tequila Bar where we ended up having an amazing service and experience.
