So lets be fair, I want to start with the positives. The flavor of the food and the presentation of the food was quite good. Not the best sushi I have had but a solid effort. Another positive, they have procedures in place for a variety of food alergies. My son has celiac and I went with a friend who does not eat dairy. So the fact that they have accomodations is great.
Now let's get to the reason for the low score.
Service--our waitress was impatient, not very attentive, friendly or personable.
Price-- The location prepared us for a higher price pont, but even acounting for that the price was high.
Portion size-- if one is going to pay more, leaving satiated is a must. We paid double what we normally pay at our regular gluten free sushi place, and we left with hunger pangs. When I say small I mean sashimi so thin you could see the plate through it. This is fine, if you are going to have more pieces, but for most of the plates it was much smaller individual pieces than at any sushi place I have been to ever, and fewer pieces than any place I have been to ever.
The interior--the inside had too loud music and while the paper cranes hanging were charming the overal decor felt forced, the music overwhemed any ambiance they might have been seeking to create and while the bench seeting outside was comfortable the high-top chairs were super uncomfortable.
The water-- the default eater they serve had cucumber in it...which we thought might be crisp and refreshing but just tasted off. Combine that with the not cold enough/no ice...it was not refreshing.
This place is for someone who wants to brag about paying a lot for the sake of paying a lot and go to a trendy place for the sake of beeing seen as trendy.
