Unfortunately I couldnt get a reservation at Katsuya or MR. Chows so I decided to check out what they did with the old sushi on sunset! Wow were we ever disappointe I read a few reviews here and saw everyone raving about the food and ambiance and thought maybe we should go. Then I read an awful review but I decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt. First off the restaurant is trying way too hard. The decor is almost scarywe felt we were in the bat cave and the waitress to this supposedly five star dinning establishment started off by letting us know that we could just order a bunch of appetizers and just PIG OUT ON THAT! yeah thats what she said! We were shocked and of course the bell boys were coming up to us at least every ten minutes trying to take the food away the food suckedWe ordered a $29 dollar see bass that tasted soo fishy and gross and bland! I really could have bought a better cut at wholefoods and cooked it better myselfand then the salad which took my date a good five minutes to cut the whole lettuce head that was literally plopped down on a plate with dressing dropped on top with extremely dry pieces of chicken to accompany - it all tasted the same .the gentleman who wrote that the food was bland was sooo rightLuckily we had a view of the city or I would have really been upsetThe desert which was supposed to be a no brainer per the waitress was positively horrible..it was cheros with pudding expect the pudding was just chocolate sauce you know the heresys kind you make chocolate milk with. Basically they spent waaay to much money building a Halloween scary house and had to hire the cheapest chef in town. good thing they kept the alcohol flowing In general this was a lesson learned there is a reason why it was so easy to get a table at 9pm on a Saturday night
Pros: Ambience is not cool - but almost scary and dark!
Cons: Over price tasteless food - I was seated promptly bec no one was there!
