I've been going to this place sense it opened and the quality of everything has gone down so much - this was the last straw. I will never go back. If you order take out make sure to check it before you pay - there is a good chance that something was missed. If you decide to eat there then please read what I have written below -

First they took over 20 minutes to seat us (we had reservations). Then they told us that the Sushi bar was closed for the night but was not closed for several tables around us that came in after later. Finally they served 2 of the 5 entrees with the appetizers and it was 30 minutes for the rest of the entrees to get served along with one other appetizer that we tried to cancel because it was not delivered with the rest of them. And to top it all off the food was just plan bad this night.
