place used to be our go to. We used to spend hundreds here every month. My husband and I just wanted a simple salad with avocado. They now charge us eighteen dollars for two salads that don't even have a full avocado between the two of them. They said it's always been that way which is an absolute lie. Never gonna put my money in this place. We already did things like ignore dirty tables sit in chairs that are half broken and use a restroom where the water won't shut off....
We tried this restaurant last Friday night, early around 5ish...we won't be returning. The decor and atmosphere is very charming and unusual. But that's the best part. We sat at the bar, which was not crowded. The bartender was somewhat slow, but pleasant. We ordered two drinks with Tito's vodka. We immediately noticed the drinks tasted odd...Tito's fans know that this vodka has a unique flavor. Mine was a martini, so no, there was no mixer to change the taste. A second round of the same drinks yielded the same result. The taste was not bad, just not like Tito's. My partner and I both watched the bartender pour from the Tito's bottle, but we swear it was not Tito's. Almost immediately after sitting down, a server kept coming up to us asking if we wanted to order food. Every 5 minutes this server returned, same question. We judge he came up to us about 7 times. We realized that if you sit at the bar to eat, the bartender serves you drinks, but not food...that is done via a separate person. Odd. However, when we finally did order, it took quite a long time to get our food. Still, the place was not super busy. The food was the biggest disappointment. My partner had three sushi rolls. The sushi was warm, and the rolls contained far more rice than we've had elsewhere. I had the Bi Bim Bap. This dish was NOT hot like it is supposed to be, the bowl was not even full, and it was mostly rice. The selected protein was tuna, and it was a skimpy portion. The tuna was sliced so thinly, I initially thought they mistakenly gave me chicken. Cost for two drinks apiece and two entrees: $150 with tip. We would not recommend this place. Like others, we note that the sushi at QQ down the road is much tastier, not overloaded with rice, and prepared faster.
