I want to make it a personal goal to prevent any human being from going to Shoku.
My girlfriend and I had wanted to try this restaurant. We got seated, our server came, showed us the wine list, and said she would come back. The server assistant gave us water.
We waited for 25 minutes while our server came by a dozen times to check on all the tables around us, take the food order of the table next to us. The We decided to leave. I asked to see the manager. She defended her server telling us she just ""forgot about us"".
I was an assistnat manager of a restaurant, a server, and bartender. You do not forget when people are sitting in your section.
Perhaps we weren't dressed fancy enough to merrit attention, perhaps my unattractive face scared our server off, either way we were mistreated.
Pros: quick seating, attractive staff
Cons: ignorant servers, ignorant managers
