From the time I made the birthday reservation for 10 people over the phone, there was drama. They overstressed how prompt we had to be or the party could not be seated. They claimed to have 130 dinner reservations for the evening. When we got there, the place was empty and they were still giving us grief because 2 members of our party were not there yet and they said if they didn't arrive in the next 5 minutes, they wouldn't be able to join us for dinner. After looking around at the empty room, we ignored them, were rushed to our table and forced to order our food immediately. The waitress hung around until we ordered. The last 2 of our party did finally show, and they let them sit. I felt like we were constantly being rushed. They kept reminding us that they table had to be given up at 10:15pm. The place was still relatively empty. They said we couldn't order food after 9pm, but of course we did. The key to enjoying yourself is ignoring the rush. If you can get past all that, some of the food was really good. Especially the chilean sea bass hand roll (we ordered 10) and the spicy tuna cut roll. The drinks were generously poured. I think we were able to stay a bit longer at our table, because we brought a cake for the birthday girl. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but again if you can get past the Hollywood Hype. You would swear we were trying to break into the best hollywood hot spot with A-list celebrities!!!!
Pros: great atmosphere, good drinks, chilean sea bass handroll
Cons: reservationist/hostess pushy
