My sister celebrated her 30th birthday last night and she reserved a table for 7 at Sapporo. My family arrived several minutes after she and the rest of the guests were seated. I informed the hostess upon our arrival that we were here for the party and there should be a reservation. She looked at her sheet and said she would have us seated when the seating hostess comes back, in just a moment. 7-10 minutes later a couple walks in behind my group and the seating hostess walks to the front and proceeds to seat the couple behind us.... We still stood there completely ignored. So I walked (2 feet) to the front again to the Hostess and asked her to seat us and she looked puzzled like it wasn't her job. So she sighs and asks us to follow her. She brings us to some table and asks us rudely if this was our party, we say no as everyone watches us. She seemed lost and started walking another way, we stood there waiting.... I ask a waitress that passed us by if there is another birthday party and she hasn't a clue so my family and I just searched for the table ourselves as the Hostess walks back to the front and leaves us to fend for ourselves. Nice job hunny, your job must be much too difficult. \n\nThe entertainment was fantastic although I don't know if the chef spoke much English, he just laughed and shook his head up and down with everything we said. The taste of the food was pretty boring only soy sauce, lemon juice and garlic butter for my daughters teriyaki chicken... yeah I don't believe in paying so much for salty chicken that I can make at home. I guess you go for the entertainment not the food. I had teppanyaki filet and again soy sauce and garlic butter were the only seasonings. It ruined the $40 filet in my opinion. The soup came to us luke warm, however it was very flavorful. We felt rather rushed because our app. plates hit the table and 6 minutes later they were back to pick them up. They tried clearing away my soup and salad before I was even halfway finished with them, as in I had to fight to keep my food on the table... \n\nThe pineapple mojito was not so wonderful, I actually didn't finish it :( \n\nUpside they kept my sisters cake in the back for us and brought it out with some plates for us to celebrate. Very neat to have the chef banging about making everyone sing happy birthday!
