A group of 8 of my girl friends drove from hours away to have a fun sit down dinner here together. I have to start by saying the food was phenomenal, but the rest of our experience not so much. We had a reservation for 6:15 PM made at least two months in advance, when we arrived for our reservation, we were asked by the hostess to โplease be done by 7:45โ Weird right? Well it doesnโt end there, our drinks took at least 20 minutes to come out & then the food another 30 minutes. (They were busy so I get the long wait time) Towards the end of our meal , I proceeded to order another Martini. The waitress told me I could order it, but it was going to be brought out in a plastic cup because the other party was here for the table. Mind you, thereโs 7 other people still eating & drinking at the table. She brings the MARTINI out in a plastic cup like she said & then tells us the other party is here so we need to get up. A few of the girls went to the restroom before we went to leave, (they only had one working restroom at the time) in the meantime, they sent over TWO other employees a different times telling us that we needed to get up because the next party was here. NEVER in my life have I been RUSHED out of dinner reservation while still ordering things to the table. Our bill was not small by any means, and we wouldโve spent a good amount of more money there hadnโt we been rudely kicked out of our reservation. Again food, was great, but this situation will be enough for me and my friends to never return to an establishment that treats paying customers...
ย ย ย Read moreToo loud and too crowded. Not much seating and the little they have is quite close, you have to yell or lean over table to hear the other person speak, we heard most of the other tables conversations as they were speaking loudly over the music. The prices were good but we didn't like the fact that our sushi rolls were room temp, we ordered fresh salmon and California roll which were both okay taste wise. The chicken rice was okay, had chunks of white rice though. The wait was long and we were okay with that except for the fact that there's no space to do so and we pretty much stood in the way as others coming in as well as the staff, all seemed to jump for the opportunity to sit at the bar when seats became available while waiting (some that even came after us). We eventually took the same opportunity and the bartender got upset when we left because the host came to get us for a table although all he had done after almost 15 min of us sitting there was pour water, hadn't taken a drink order or appetizer order, he was quite busy with other guests and speaking to his "regulars" so we chose to sit at the table instead of dealing with that and he loudly spoke about his dislike of "people doing that" to other guests at the bar as we were getting up and leaving. Once at the table our waitress was amazing and the food came...
ย ย ย Read moreReally bad experience-So my husband and I live in New Orleans and were in Metairie all evening shopping. It was 9:15 we were starving and craving sushi, we usually just get take out. But decided why not letโs treat ourselves, we NEVER go out to eat. We go into the restaurant sit down, server takes our drink order, I ordered one of their speciality cocktails. Everything was a going great, until the manger on duty, Tori, comes up to our table and says, Iโm sorry but we cannot serve you any alcoholic drinks and accuses me of being too intoxicated to order a drink?!? I was baffled bc I had not had anything to drink all day. She stated that I was walking funny. And automatically assumed that Iโm intoxicated?!? Totally embarrassing, bc I have a medical condition that makes me lean to my left side. Itโs gotten worse in the last few years, and I never go out bc Iโm too self conscious about it. And this is exactly why. We decided to leave bc I was so mortified andI started crying. All I can say is wow, Iโve never felt so humiliated. That manager does not need to be working with the public if she canโt tell the difference between someone who is intoxicated and someone who has a medical condition. My husband is furious. It totally...
