This was my second time at Douzo: the first time I loved the food and the service. This time showed that like many restaurants that get popular quickly, Douzo has not been able to accommodate that popularity. The food was still good, but the sushi bar was running about an hour late on a Monday night! There was no valet parking and staff could not recommend a garage. The hostess that put us on the list gave us one wait time, but when we parked and came in, we were given a new time, one that was over 20 minutes longer from the original estimate.... Had we known, we might have gone to another restaurant before paying for parking. Service at the bar was slow too, it took 10 minutes just to put in a drink order and there was a shortage of drinks menus. The only bright spot of the whole experience was our waitress (Jeanine) who was incredibly attentive, pleasant and honest about the sushi bar delays. Otherwise, this was a dissappointing experience that put a damper or our celebration.... A place at this pricepoint should really be better at operational stuff. Next time, it's off to Osushi!
Pros: Waitstaff, quality of food
Cons: longer than normal wait times, inconsistent communication, not good enough for price
