This place, wow. Where do I start? We went to order a blueberry mint martini. The server said "sorry, out of mint", to which a discussion started about if we should just go buy some for them, or needed it at all. He went on a nonsense story about how they only use special infused mint extract. And that fresh mint would never work, as it doesn't draw the actual flavor needed. I guess they've never tried muddling it fresh.
"Do you guys want hookers? I mean, uh, hookah" he asked, snickering.
We ordered some basic food, with added commentary from the server on each item. Including being asked if we'd like our edamame fried or steamed. At all times we were polite and normal. All items came out fairly quickly.
I ate the first sushi without thinking much of it. It was a tempura shrimp roll. The ingredients were as follows(from the menu): tempura shrimp, cucumber, avacado, eel sauce, and tempura crunch. When I was hit with the after taste, it definitely had a "what was that???" feel. Then I took a closer look. Sure enough, no joke, there were Rice Krispies all over the top of my sushi roll. When the server came back out, we literally asked "are these rice krispies on the sushi??". He stopped mid sentence with us to talk to someone else nearby. Clearly uneasy with the conversation. Finally coming back we asked again. He went on a long nonsense speech about how the oil from tempura ruins the roll. And that "air puffed" cereal is better and works better for crunch. And that tempura flakes just don't work.
All, I'm not kidding, they put CEREAL on sushi. It was terrible. I've had sushi in Tokyo, Shanghai, London, LA, new York, etc. Basically all over the planet. If you're not going to use tempura, don't put it in the description. The server never said another word to us the rest of our stay. Quietly dropping off the ticket after asking for it.
This has to be the biggest joke of all sushi I've ever tried. And I feel like it was almost an inside joke used against people the restaurant didn't like. That's when I noticed the cryptic message on my plate written in eel sauce. See the image attached to the review and draw your own interpretation.
I'd stay away from Posh. Their reviews are likely padded. And the staff think they're way above...
Read moreA Regrettable Experience!! Disgusted with the service!! For my birthday weekend my husband went to check out this place for me. He said it was small but seemed accommodating for a small party. I got the phone number of Posh and was told to speak to John about making a table reservation. I called and spoke to John about holding an 11 p.m. table for 8. He said everything could be arranged and seemed nice... over the phone. The night of the party we arrived in 3 separate cars, all valet parked at the Waverly. The “club” was the size of a small dining room; not what I expected. With a name like “Posh” I expected a better dress code. People were there in flip flops, jerseys and the vibe was very ghetto. The absolute insult came with the service my guests and I were treated with. I approached the counter and asked to speak to John, John approached with this arched eyebrow as he sized me and my guest, his look suggesting we were clearly overdressed for a Saturday night (is that even possible). He claimed he did not speak with me, and that I did not make a reservation, which is not my character I can assure you; and how the place is jammed packed, so waiting for a table could be 15 mins. Being that I had my guests come all this way and pay to park I didn’t want to be a drama queen, so I said fine. The staff literally avoided me and my guests as we waited. John then returns sometime later and says that he could set us up a table outside until the one became available. The establishment of Posh literally sat us in the back alley of the parking garage, away from the DJ-- and from everyone else. My guests and I were really upset. And our server, a young girl, had such a pompous attitude that we left her quarters for tips. Even as my friends tried to make small talk with her, she acted like she was just too good, and too busy. We had one drink and we Left, never to return. Such a disappointment with subtle signs of bigotry as some of my friends are gay, and...

I just had to write a review after my first visit to Posh Lounge today. As someone who considers themselves a sushi enthusiast, I can confidently say this place has shot straight to the top of my list!
The Flaming Posh was nothing short of extraordinary - perfectly crisp on the outside while maintaining that delicate tenderness that makes great tempura so special. The batter was light and airy, not greasy at all, which is often the downfall of tempura at lesser establishments.
What sets Posh Lounge apart is their evident commitment to quality. The ingredients tasted remarkably fresh, and the presentation was both elegant and artistic. The attention to detail extended beyond just the food - the ambiance struck that perfect balance between upscale and comfortable.
The service deserves special mention as well. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and they were knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations that enhanced my dining experience.
I've tried many sushi restaurants over the years, but I can honestly say that Posh Lounge is by far the best sushi place I've ever been to. It's rare to find a restaurant that exceeds expectations on the first visit, but Posh Lounge did exactly that.
Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or just looking for an exceptional dining experience, do yourself a favor and visit Posh Lounge. I'm already planning my next visit to explore more of their...
