Hello everyone, My experience at Samuri was less than satisfactory today. When I walked in with my brother (who just returned from Afghanistan) to have a seat at the bar, the bartender Sonny ( who seemed very busy ) looked at my brother and sort of spat the words, "That seat is taken!" My brother began to move but I guess not fast enough for Sonny because he said again to my brother someone is sitting there, my brother then replied "Ok. Sorry about that Sir
" At this time Sonny walked away to the back i guess came back and began to make other drinks.. By this time we had been sitting there for what felt like 10 minutes and still no greeting, no i will be right with you, no menu, no acknowledgement execpt for asking my brother to move from this guys seat. Now the bar was not packed. The whole left side where we sat was empty. Expect for the invisible guy whose seat my brother was apparently sitting in. Finally Sonny comes and gives us napkins and a menu and says he will be right with us. About a few minutes later my brother orders a water and i order a drink. Our drink comes and then we put in our order for food. The food comes its great. When its time to leave we get our check and sign the receipt. Now im not sure if this always packed restaurant is short on pens but as im leaving Sonny yells out across the restaurant ( very unprofessionally ) "Hey, You have my pen!!!" Mind you guys i am at the door, everyone looks at me, very embarrassing, i give him the pen back which i mistakenly kept back to him. How humiliating! As if i did not just spend over $50.00 dollars in the restaurant. For this reason i give this place a one star because Sonny did not have to embarrass me like that over a pen. I would buy them a box of pens if it is that serious... I will not recommend this place or be returning let alone bringing any of my other family members there for a while.. Sonny's demeanor was as if he was under the influence of something to make him move as fast and act what seemed irritable.
