"The decor and energy of the place was really hip and cool and the food tasted GREAT, but there were just too many things that stood out as bad or unacceptable to say it was a good experience. Bad: I wrote in the OpenTable notes that this dinner was a birthday/special occasion, but they didn 't do anything special for us. I asked if we could be seated at a more discreet booth rather than by the stair case near the sushi bar and I was told that the booths are for parties of four only. They then proceeded to sit three parties of two at the open booths. Bad: Our waitress didn 't really check on us or refill our water and the wait time between plates coming out was pretty long. Also, our chopsticks were not refreshed after the appetizers, which seemed a bit cheap. The service was below average compared to other sushi places in town. Bad: When I ordered my nigiri, the waitress kept telling me I should order the special nigiri . It came off as her just trying to get a bigger tip. For example, I asked about the yellowtail and was told I should try the far pricier scallop special nigiri instead. Unnacceptable: The grapefruit garnish on my wife 's paloma smelled like sweaty feet. and there was a long hair in our cheesecake. So gross. If they aren 't cutting their garnishes daily and keeping the containers clean behind the bar, it really makes me wonder if everything else is fresh... which is obviously important for a sushi place. Time will tell if we give this place another try."
