I have never been to Pisces so I want to give them a try. We made reservations and we were seated immediately to our table! I give them a five star as most places make us wait. The hostesses were nice.
The menu was actually perfect as they had the right amount of selection. Not to much and not to little. The sushi selection has a variety of different types of rolls. They had some unique dishes along with unique names. I give them 5 star for a well thought out menu.
The server wasn’t bad as he was quick to response but he did forget a couple of things.
Now onto the value for the price of the food. I know that the location is in Dunedin and therefore everything is very expensive in this little town. And like all sushi places, they charge very high prices. However this place is about 20% higher but I know you are paying higher prices to have the ambience of being downtown Dunedin.
We ordered the Caesar salad which is $10 for a very small plate of salad with just dressing. This was very disappointing! We ordered three rolls and the average prices for their rolls is between $16 to $24. We ordered the firecracker roll, alcohol boho, and Mexican roll.
When the sushi came out, I was kind of disappointed as they were pretty small rolls compared to some high end sushi places I have gone to when compared to the price. The rice was still moist and soft but they lack favor. All the rolls tasted the same.
Overall, I did enjoy sitting on their patio and enjoying a relaxing dinner while people watching as they all walk by. I would come back for the ambience but expect average Japanese food and paying a...
Read moreThe fact that I’d rather go to bed hungry after a long pregnancy than finally indulge in my beloved sushi says everything about the quality, preparation, and overall execution of this place. I eat sushi like it’s my last meal on Earth—and on top of that, I’m a private chef—so I know what I’m talking about. Sure, the rolls looked decent on the outside, but that didn’t prepare me for how downright terrible they were on the inside.
I ordered the Dunedin Dream, which turned out to be more of a nightmare. The fish inside was practically dust—just crumbs of something that used to be seafood, buried under an avalanche of over-battered “grouper.” Except, let’s be real, whatever that was, it wasn’t grouper. In a county where grouper is a staple, it’s actually impressive how badly you fumbled it. Instead of tender, flaky fish, I got battered wood chips. And don’t get me started on the rice—so much vinegar it felt like a punishment.
Then there was the Pink Panther roll, which absolutely lived up to its name—it robbed me blind. Just shrimp and cucumber, completely overpowered by that same aggressively sour rice, with no balance, no depth, and frankly, no point. And the chutoro? Chewy, full of gristle, and stringy enough to double as dental floss—except you’d have to floss again afterward to get rid of it.
Honestly, I want my money back. The only remotely enjoyable thing I had was the ice cream on the torte, which says a lot. Owning a restaurant in a prime Dunedin location and cutting corners like this is wild behavior. Please give...
Read moreLocal Native not on vacation , After several failed attempts to dine at this establishment, I’m again severely disappointed there were at least two managers on duty, two hostesses and a slew of servers, ready to serve us, but had no idea we were even sitting at the sushi bar where the hostess with a horrible attitude seated us because she said there wasn’t any other tables available, but they were obviously quite a few inside and outside. Ruined my Father’s Day with my wife . Manager gentleman clamored to try to fix the situation after we were sitting there for 15 minutes when one of the sushi chefs out of the 4 looked up at us confused and said have you been helped yet? It was almost like a joke. It wasn’t even busy at all what a shame it is to have such a great location and a great idea to serve sushi in downtown Dunedin but you failed miserably. I do not know how you get any reviews above one star amazes me. I refuse to spend my hard earned money at an overpriced establishment with the sushi is not even that good. The last time I did eat their service was terrible along with the food ,but however, they were taking phone calls and catering to those situations. I do not normally leave reviews like this, but again this has been several occasions when I’ve tried to frequent this establishment that I will never ever and highly recommend that no one go to this so-called...
