Worst

We waited over 1 hour for 4 people, the sushi was not good - I'd recommend party of 2 and avoid sushi.

Possibly the worst place in town 7/17/2010

Wow. I am amazed that this place is even in business. I don't know what was worse, the lack of service, the lousy food, the lack of air conditioning...the two hour wait for food. I don't think there was a single thing this place had right. I have never felt the need to complain so many times in one restaurant...the kicker? The owner didn't care one bit about our dissatisfaction- no complimentary anything. When the waitress offered us free dessert the owner told her it would come out of her paycheck. Nice.\r \r Sushi rolls- very expensive for the crappy portions\r Spring rolls- bland and slimy\r Grilled asparagus- uncooked (like bamboo or twigs)\r Rice- oily\r Spinach salad- overdressed and super vanilla sweet\r \r Wait staff- forgot cocktail orders, forgot to bring silverware, chopsticks, refill water, ask about our meal\r \r 2 HOURS TO RECEIVE OUR MEAL.\r \r 3 Attempts for the waitress to get our check correct (still no discount)\r \r NEVER AGAIN. more

Sushi the best 11/13/2008

The Sushi menu has a lot of options, even for those who don't want the raw fish. The best is the firecracker shrimp roll. They also have delicous mojitos, infused with different fruits. Also, be sure to order the Caesar salad. more

Overhyped, overpriced. 10/31/2008

Adequate food, decent service, outrageous gratuity. Pros: Not too crowded. Cons: Food overpriced for the quality, service marginal, mandatory 20% gratuity on parties of 5 or more. more

young chef grown up talent 3/11/2004

I was visiting Soiree around christmas time and was blown away. I asked the chef to do what ever we wanted for our table. Six courses later my wife and I were on our honey moon once again. When I visit again I will return on my first night unable to wait. Thanks to the chef. Pros: good parking, great food, good service more
