I only put 3 stars because the service is great, the management is awesome - the food is excellent.... but I wanted people to check over this and note that the last time I was there (3/1), I walked out.

I was seated at the backbar which was no problem at all. I was alone and happy to do sit wherever. The bartender had a conversation with the friendly hostess at the bar within earshot about why I was seated there. (It was busy Tuesday night and there were a few people accumulating and waiting for tables). I think he was feeling overwhelmed. I work customer service and very much understand this. I offered to move back to the sushi bar if that would help allieviate things - and that was fine - but the gentleman at the bar just placated me - his eyes said "leave" but he kept saying "that's your decision"... rather than just saying something like "Hey, to better serve you, we would like to know if you'd be willing to be seated at the sushi bar?" etc.

I told him I will just go up to the sushi bar. I almost sat down at the sushi bar but decided that I didn't want to spend $25+ after that... so I spent my money elsewhere. I just looked down at my sushi sheet and set it at the desk and walked out. It's the first time I went there and felt like I was a nuisance for just being there. I will go back but I will not get seated at the bar and it's going to be a long time before I do. Sad, because their Matsuzaka Roll is FANTASTIC.
