For weeks now all I have been hearing from my girlfriends is ""you have to go to Ra. Check out Ra. You haven't been to Ra yet? What the h*** are you waiting for?"" blah blah blah. So on my birthday we got a babysitter for the evening, and my husband and I went to Ra. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. As we were walking up to the restaurant the music was playing very loud, and was worried that this might be just another Chaucer's. But once we walked in I was blown away. The decor is beautiful, globes hanging from all over the ceiling, glowing a low-lit red, beautiful paintings of geisha girls on the walls. Now I'm thinking ""great another pretentious sushi restaraunt"", but while the hostesses were wearing nice dresses, the rest of the staff wears jeans and t-shirts, and everyone was smiling and looked like they were having fun. Our server was a cute little guy named Chance. He was outstanding! He made us feel very comfortable not being ""sushi experts"" and took the time to explain everything you need to know about sushi. We were having trouble deciding what we wanted, so we just let our server pick items out for us. The most memorable one for me was the Vegas Roll, but everything else was great as well, (sorry I wish I could remember the other names to the rolls we tried) The music was pumping, probably the best music I've heard at a restaraunt ever! I don't think there was a dj, I didn't see one anyways. Beautiful people everywhere, the staff included. I can see why my friends love this place so much! We stayed and mingled until almost 1am. It was great we will definitely be back!
