It started with a
makeshift valet service of casually dressed kids trying to meter the flow of
vehicles in front of a ample spacious parking lot. If you didn't ask about
available free parking they would gladly take you $10 before directing you to
the complimentary parking. Greedy or classy, I don't know. If your going to
offer valet parking at least put some kind of dress code for your valets. It
reminded me of steet urchins trying to charge you for parking in in Mexico. The
grounds and water features of this restaurant were stunning. Especially the
underwater lighting and Koi fish. We entered a very busy lobby 15 minutes
before our reservations and were directed to a
holding tank
lounge.,where I
immediately realized the chance of getting any service was as great as the
chance of the one lone waitress sprouting extra arms and legs. I muscled into
the bar and loaded the swamped lone bartender with one more drink order After a couple of scolding sakes and and bland cocktails we were directed to our
table with another group of people to await our chef and food. Performance was
ok and food was ok. This establishment was obviously riding on its laurels and
had no need to raise the bar. We've tasted much better at this kind of Japanese Venue ( Suheiro's in
Vancouver ) but it was a still fun dinner. I'll remember the ambiance
of the grounds and the koi fish.
