Weird, weird place. I've never been somewhere that made you feel so uncomfortable as a patron.\n\nThis was on a Friday night from 8:30-~9:30. They close at 9:45.\n\nThe sushi was good - not spectacular. The nice thing is that the rolls were cheaper and smaller in portion size so you could sample a few. I also liked the selection of nigiri. \n\nThe attitude there - from the menu warnings to the inclusion of a tip calculator with your bill is really weird. When you open the menu, you are confronted with a list of about 7 or 8 rules of engagement. These range from a refusal to split a check to a line that says they occasionally at their discretion add in a 17% service charge (not table occupancy related). There were quite a few of these and it seem like an awful lot for a place that only seats about 25.\n\nIt's BYOB, yet they charge $2 for every wine or beer glass and then an extra $3 for chilling or ice. They didn't open our wine but just left a bottle opener at the table.\n\nThe restaurant was fairly empty, yet all the prime booths and the Sushi bar seats were demarcated as \"reserved\". We were the last people there and nobody ever came to claim the special seating. They remained set and reserved until about 30 minutes before closing when they cleaned them off while we were eating.\n\nThe restaurant is almost eerily quiet except for the occasional whispering among the wait staff. It seems like you aren't assigned any particular server as they all hover around your table waiting for you to want something. When they aren't doing this, they huddle in the corners and whisper to each other. It's distracting with the lack of music.\n\nReally weird place.\n\nThe final strangeness was that the bill is proffered in your typical black check book that contains a list of tip calculations in fluorescent green.\n\nFor a place that seems to average about $70 for two people with tip, I don't think the weirdness is worth it.
