Okay okay — I had to try it since Antonio was involved in this and interestingly enough urbanspoon folks have given it a beat down. I half agree with this rating. I firmly believe this place is a hit or miss. I’d say most of the dishes we ate were pretty good except for that one dish I had to send it back. It was the yellowtail jalapeno appetizer. The fish was warm, the plate as well — and as such it was an unpleasant fishy hot mess. I sent it back to the kitchen and the chef graciously came out and sincerely apologized and explains where the fish came from and he was astonished. He came back and redid the dish and to be frank he took extremely care for the second time around and for the rest of the night he came back out to check on us like nobody business.
Everyone I know complains about the price and the quantity of food. To be fair, its all about location and taste. Because of where its’ located and the clientele I feel they are going after (Business/professionals in the area) they will charge what they want. Supply & Demand. If you are looking for bang for your buck feel free to hit up Chinatown or some average sushi place that is not in financial area.
I sincerely hope that the restaurant will continue to take every patrons feedback to heart to elevate their game. Great location, great looking restaurant and hopefully great food and consistency in delivery.
Would I go back? For now, maybe in a year or two… there’s too many awesome restaurant in a less prime location where perceived value is better. However, if I am too lazy to go to Park, this will be a sufficient substitution for the sashimi platter and business lunch.
I will agree at the price you pay, it has to be extremely well executed 100% of the time or that restaurant will have insanely negative reviews. This holds extremely true for clients that come back again expecting the exact same taste and experience.
