output: I had a $25 birthday credit with my Landry's card and I wanted a good meal. So, I decided to try this place. I've eaten at the one in Houston before and I wasn't impressed. However, I was blown away by how good it was. The Beefsteak Tomato and Mozzerella Salad is incredible. Then I had a perfectly cooked and flavorful Filet Mignon and Au Gratin Potatoes. It was outstanding and one of the better meals I've had here in Vegas. I ate at the bar and the bartenders were super and very attentive. I will be eating here on my birthday every year that I live here and I will be eating there more often. Spectacular!

output: Up until today, my experience with this sushi restaurant has been great. Their restaurant is clean, the food is good and it's a quiet little nook off of the fast paced streets of down town Scottsdale. I liked the place so much I would make an effort to go at least once a week with my co-worker. Unfortunately I state "liked" in past tense due to a terrible customer experience with one of their wait staff today... Having eaten at the place 4 or 5 times, I was shocked to be confronted by my usual waiter for supposedly short changing her $3 on a bill from 3 weeks ago. Instead of explaining the situation, the woman accused me of purposely stiffing her on the bill and leaving shortly after so she had to pay the $3 out of her own pocket. Without giving me the opportunity to inquire further, she stormed off to the back of the room. The weird part of this incident is that she was referencing a bill from 3 weeks prior to my current dining experience with them which means I had eaten there at least once or twice since the supposable "dine and ditch" situation had occurred. When another waiter - also her manager and the owner came by - instead of taking over where she left to ask us if there was an issue he acted like nothing had happened and asked for our order. Shocked at the outburst and accusation, we ordered without comment. When she came by again I asked if she could provide a receipt - that way I could see the total amount paid and due as proof of short changing her. She responded that they were unable to pull up our previous bill; Though they admitted to serving me since then but didn't bring it up until now. WHAT??? AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE??? Regardless, I took her word for it and I attempted to remedy the situation by pulling $5 out of my wallet and offering my condolences. When I tried to give her the money she proceeded to get huffy and stomped off saying it was 3 weeks ago so it doesn't matter. IF IT DIDN'T MATTER, WHY BRING IT UP - IT'S $3? Having discussed the whole incident with my coworker several times, I decided to write this review as a warning to any future customers that may want to check in to this place. I was once a repeat customer, but after today on principle alone, I won't return. The whole thing is actually laughable. 1st: If I wanted to stiff her, why would I pay 96% of the bill? 2nd: If that was in fact the case, you would and should have been able to pull up the bill proving that the customer didn't pay in full. 3rd: The manner in which it was brought to our attention was shocking. Why would you accuse a repeat customers (whose eaten at your restaurant at least twice since the incident) of stiffing you on the bill but not bring it up until 3 weeks later? That makes no sense. In fact it sounds like she may have gotten the wrong people. 4th: All of this over $3. If you're that hard up on $$$ it's probably a good idea to treat your customer's with respect and approach them with any "situations" calmly, not let your bratty employee ruin any chances of retaining a once loyal customer. Hope the extra $5 makes your day sweet heart - life's to short to freak out over 3 bucks. Luckily I pass 4 other sushi restaurants on the way to get to their place. Going forward, I'll go to a closer stop that doesn't freak out on their customers and make a scene. The sad part is, this whole situation could have been avoided had it been approached sooner and with a civil attitude. Obviously, I had no problem paying for the missed $3 since I in fact paid more than what I was accused of "cheating" her out of. More to the point though, her manager didn't step in. If the employee couldn't handle the situation appropriately, than the manager should have taken action and stepped in. Poor communication and tactics overall has earned this place a bad rating. ;0(

Faultless decor, service, and food. I had the pot roast, being as I am a fan of good old 'murrican comfort food raised to new levels of refinement thanks to superpremium ingredients. I wasn't disappointed. There was a nice sear on the outside to hold the moisture and flavor in. The mashed potatoes were delicious, and the veggies (including fennel) were done perfectly. The prices were reasonable, and I could imagine taking a family here to experience really GOOD food. I'll be back. Even thought the hotness of the waiter that Amy found irresistible must have escaped me. ;-)
