My fiance and I had a very negative experience here. An hour and 10 minutes after placing our order the sushi bar hadn't even started making our food.
On a Friday night we went to Country Bistro for the first time. My fiance ordered 2 rolls, and I ordered the sushi deluxe, which is nigiri and a roll. In about 7 minutes I received my salad and miso soup.
20 minutes after placing our order our waiter told us it would be a wait, but that our food would come soon. We were both in a very good mood, and received the news patiently. We noticed that there was only one sushi chef, and that he was working very hard on to-go orders.
40 minutes after placing our order a waitress approached our table and gave us free edamame. She told us that it would be a long wait. We were still in a good mood, and were friendly when she approached us. We noticed that the chef was still working on to-go orders, and that the 2-top right next to us had received 3 rolls that they had ordered after us.
1 hour and 10 minutes after we placed our order, my fiance lost his patience. He noticed that the sushi chef was working on a boat, which meant that he wasn't even working on our order. My fiance prompted me to ask if they had started our food. Our waiter asked the chef, who yelled at him. Then our waiter sheepishly told us no, they hadn't started.
I got up and said, "You've been nice, but it's been more than an hour, and we're leaving." My fiance and I clinked our glasses, threw back our beers, and walked out.
Country Bistro should 1) notify to-go and pick-up orderers that there will be a very long wait, and prioritize the orders of dining-room customers first, and 2) better manage its food production. There's no reason that after 20 minutes we couldn't have received 1 of our rolls, after another 20 minutes received the second, another 20 received the third, and another 20 received the nigiri.
This restaurant has substantial prioritization and food-production issues. It was date night, and after visiting this restaurant we...
Read moreI don’t write reviews...I usually just scour reviews for info on whether I should order from a place or not, but I had to write a review for this place....because I cannot stop ordering their food!!!! The Country Pad Thai is next level amazing!! This is coming from someone who didn’t even really have a preference for Thai food before, just ordered on a whim one night cause someone mentioned at work the prior day. Do yourself a favor and just order something that sounds good to you from this place, you won’t be disappointed...and if you order delivery, spoiler alert, my order the other night said 45-55 min and I had it in 25!! It’s not always that way, but typically much ahead of time or on time...never been late!
3 Country Bistro...keep doin what you do! I’m from the Midwest originally so I love seeing your restaurant nailing it...you’ll always have a faithful...
Read moreI have had sushi around the globe. It is my good fortune that the very BEST place is right down the road from me. I have been eating here for a few years and it's the kind of good food that makes you want to write a review while still at your table. Very fresh & creative sushi. My favorite is the Raider Maki which is shrimp tempura with cucumber in a maki roll toped with avocado, spicy mayo & eel sauce. Another favorite is the Main Street Maki. That is spicy tuna, avocado & cucumber topped with tempura crumbs and 3 kinds of tobiko (fish eggs) red, green & black. Sometimes he'll serve you fresh fruit or a sweet fried banana thing on the house. Seriously good spot. looks small and unassuming but whoever you bring will be impressed by the quality. He also has...
