Matthew Coveney Review of Harney Sushi
I went here tonight to get some sushi. Unfortunate...
I went here tonight to get some sushi. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I walked in and told the two hostesses that I was alone. All the tables were full, so I asked to sit at the sushi bar. The one hostess said "I'm sorry, you can't sit there because we don't have any more menus. You can sit at the bar, and when we get a menu, you can move to the sushi bar." The sushi bar was completely empty, and they wouldn't let me sit there! I said, I don't understand the rule... why can't I just sit at the sushi bar, and whenever you get a menu, go ahead and bring it to me. They said no. What a joke, the hostesses are clueless. There is no excuse for not having any menus, how much money would it cost to print up a couple more menus?
Anyway, I went to sit at the bar, and the hostess told me that she would come get me when they got a menu. I sit down at the bar, and order a drink. And wait. And wait. The bartender ended up getting me a menu, which I couldn't read because it was too dark. The lighting is really questionable here, the seat I was in was somehow completely in the dark, even though the person to my right and left had plenty of light. Both hostesses completely forgot about me, and then seated other people with menus at the sushi bar. I waited maybe a half hour, then I left.
I am rating the restaurant as three star, because the sushi did look really good, but I don't want to give them my money for treating me terribly. And the bartender was really cool, and nice, and they have Sapporo beer on tap for only about three dollars. I'm not going to judge the quality of the sushi without trying it. Minus two stars for the two clueless hostesses! Harney Sushi, step your seating game up!
