One of the worst dining experiences of my life
2 Star Rating: Below Average

08/20/2007 Posted by leila13

I was with a group of 6 and we had reservations. I walked in first and the restaurant was packed - you could barely move. Despite the fact that we had reservations, we were shoved in a corner where we could hardly get into our table and had servers and customers hitting our chairs constantly. Our waitress opened all four bottles of wine as soon as we put them on the table without asking us first if we wanted that. She was very inattentive and, in general clueless. After we had finished our meal, we stayed to finish the wine (since all bottles had been opened!) and a server came by and took one of our chairs, leaving a member of our party sitting on a lawn chair. About 15 minutes after our meal had finished, the hostess came by and asked us to leave so she could seat other people! We had only been there for about an hour and a half and we explained that we were trying to finish our wine that the server had so rudely opened. She apologized and said she did not mean to offend, but all in all, this was the WORST dining experience of my life. The food was decent, though I prefer Coast for BYO sushi place. Save yourself the frustration and go someplace that is more professional.

Pros: decent food, BYO

Cons: HORRIBLE service
