Disappointing Dining Experience.


My boyfriend and I like to go out to eat at a sushi place every month, and we've taken a liking to one down the road from the house. We have always had a great experience at this place, until tonight. When we got to the restaurant, it took 5 mins for us to be seated. The place was not busy at all, with the exception of a group sitting at the hibachi table.

The hostess, whom did not seem to eager to be working tonight, seated us. The tables in the area that we were sitting at were very dirty(we have never come across this problem since we've been eating there, plus, it looked as if no one had been sitting there for quite some time). We sat for a few mins, then our waitress took our drink order. Five mins later, she comes out with a tray of drinks, asking us which drink we ordered. We told her, and she gave us our drinks. She mixed up my boyfriend's drink with one from another table. She fixed the mistake, and then went back to the kitchen. My boyfriend and I already knew what we wanted, so we waited for our waitress to come back. Twenty minutes later, she came back and took our order. Food came 15 minutes later, and we were all set to eat. Ten minutes, after we were done eating, we got our check. My boyfriend and I agreed that the service was not good, which had us concerned for our favorite sushi place. He did not leave a tip. We paid, and left.

It disappoints me that this restaurant had this bad of service. It's always been quick and consistent. Tonight it was just scatter-brained and sloppy. I hope it was just an off-night for them. *sigh*
