The sushi lived up to it's reputation here, it was excellent. However, toward the end of our meal, my date jokingly asked the people next to us if they were done with their ice cream, they jokingly slid it over to us, and Mori flipped out, calling them rude, saying how inappropriate that was, and generally treating us all like scolded children. Our sushi neighbors slinked out of the restaurant, and we paid our (expensive) bill amidst dirty looks from Mori. I must say, the whole thing ruined the experience, and was one of the stranger things that has happened to me in many years of LA fine dining. Perhaps it is incidents like these that make the restaurant 1/2 empty, even with the high quality of fish and friendly service from everyone besides the owner.
