I am an event coordinator for a local social club in Denver. I set up a monthly sushi dinner at a different sushi restaurant and was very excited to try the Sushi Den, since it had the reputation for ""the best sushi in Denver"". Yesterday I called to confirm my reservation for 25 people and they didn't have it. They then proceeded to tell me that they would have to charge me a room fee and a percentage of our total bill. I refused and said that NOTHING was said to me about a room fee, otherwise I would have never have booked a room there. He said he would wave the fee but wouldn't promise our table to be ready at 4:45. That was fine, we could have a drink at the bar while we waited for the table. During our drinks the manager said our table was ready and that we would all have to be on one bill. Typically when our group goes the management is kind enough to let us split up into groups of 4 or 5, with 25 people this is definitely difficult with a sushi order! So I go to the hostess to have her take us to the room and she said she wouldn't seat us until 15 people were there. It's 5 at night, rush hour I know people will be late but she would rather have 13 people stand by the bar instead of enjoying our room and looking over the menu. I finally got her to take us to the room. Nice decor, nice servers. The sushi was very overpriced and nothing outstanding compared to some other sushi restaurants we have visited. Overall I would save your money and go to Japon on a Monday where it's happy hour all day, or Opal that has an exceptional happy hour every day until 7:30.
Pros: Nice decor
Cons: overpriced, lost reservation, OVERRATED!!!
