A: I've never used the "appalling" to describe an experience at a bar, but that is the only word that's appropriate. I would equate my experience here to a revolving door, with a handshake at entrance, a slap in the face in the middle, and a kick in the pants on the way out. We showed up a little after 1am, the doorman spent some time telling us about the concept then recommended we go upstairs where the DJ is. We used the restroom, went upstairs, and grabbed a bar menu. They have a "salad bar" menu, where all of the drinks use 9 fresh ingredients, so it takes a minute to read through. I ordered our drinks and was told they had already given last call, but she would make them anyways. While she was muddling or drinks, the music stopped, lights went on, and the bouncers started pushing people towards the stairs. A bouncer told us we needed to move out, and I told him our drinks were STILL BEING MADE. When I asked the bartender what time they close, she said 1:30. I asked what time it was, she said 1:28. So I followed up with what time did they do last call, she says 1:20. WTF? My friend asked about our drinks, she said we could take them with us. No sh*t. But since you can't go into any other bars with an outside drink, she protested a little and requested we be able to drink them there, to which the bartender responded that the downstairs was still open, and a bouncer returned. "Hey ladies, the bar is closed and you need to move on. How was your evening?" @@#%$$^%$$$#&&%!!!!!!!!! My friend said that we had been working our way down Freemont, and explained our experience thus far. The bouncer was made a comment to the effect of, "so you ladies have been drinking a while," was apologetic that we had to leave the patio, and offered to walk with us down the stairs to the bottom floor where we could finish our drinks. When we hit the landing on the stairs, we could see that the lights were on and the house was empty, just like upstairs, and he "walked with us" right out the front door. This was obviously a concerted effort by all employees to make the sale regardless of customer satisfaction or experience. I've worked in clubs, so I know that when we hit the front door, the doorman knew that the bar was closing down. The bartender was happy to sell us drinks at $10 each because she knew we would have to go regardless. And the bouncers used classic bouncing techniques to keep moving us towards the door.
Q: negative

A: I will never return to this bar... was treated extremely rude by the bartender ( Big fat white guy), My boyfriend and I tried to order drinks on several occasions, he totally ignored us and wouldn't walk past us. We would then see him peering at us from the other side of the bar... we ended up walking out...its a shame because it's at a great location for us...

Answer: Came to Sakana in Ahwatukee tonight because we were in the area and I had a great experience at the Scottsdale location. I regret that decision. The music was very loud for dining, the galley style dining area in which we were seated was sort of cramped and was the only access to the bathroom so my shoulders were rubbed by people's behinds three times as they passed. The waitstaff started to clean the dining room and flip the chairs as we ate, although there were at least 4 other occupied tables in the restaurant and they did not close until 10:30 (we paid our bill and left at 10:40). This brings us to the food; I was extremely disappointed in the sushi quality. We ordered whitetail and unagi to start and the unagi was unusually fishy in flavor and was over cooked. The cut of the whitetail was generous, but not the knife skill I am used to. It was not trimmed on the thin side of the filet and wasn't a consistent thickness all the way through. About this time we were delivered a mug of hot green tea, which was odd because we didn't order any, were told they were bringing us another, then about one minute later a server came by and said sorry and took it from our table. This only seemed odd because when I waited tables I would never think of taking something from a table, even after serving it to the incorrect one. We then had the Roller Coaster roll and found the spicy tuna on top to be mushy and flavorless. The best thing about the meal was the tempura calamari. It was crispy and flavorful and not greasy. I expected more based my previous experience, not sure if it was just an off night but the number of issues were off putting.

output: Pasta: Whoever said there was no flavor might be lacking some taste buds because the flavor was all there. I wanted to slurp the whole bowl into my mouth at once. You can't go wrong with any of the pasta's because they're fresh made, and it's apparent! They claim the pasta is Batalli's forte. It's too bad it is so ridiculously expensive and portions are tiny. I only tried it because we had a vegetarian at the table (oops, my bad for choosing a steakhouse on our last night!). Meat: My. God. Rib. Eye. SO GOOD! This is the first time I have been impressed by meat in Vegas. Especially because I've made my rounds to steakhouses like Craft, I had my doubts given this place had a half star less. No.. it is so delicious, you must come here for the meat. Sides: So the mashed potatoes with egg didn't blow me away, but it was still good. I was actually a little nauseated by the complimentary focaccia with "emulsified" (read: mushy) lard. We opted for the italian broccoli with pork belly (tastes like bacon!), and they can make this vegetarian if desired (don't know who in their right mind would want to do that). Sides aren't that big but they're unnecessary because the meat is enough to really tide you over. Service: The service was NOT as pushy as I thought they would be. They did drop Batalli's name several times, but he was nice enough, and offered what I felt were reasonable and helpful suggestions. Note: for parties of 6 or more, they require a credit card deposit.
Q: negative

A:
We picked this place as our fine dining option since we were staying at Caesars and didn't want to spend our mortgage at Guy Savoy. Also considered Mesa by Bobby Flay but was turned off by their ridiculous credit card requirement for reservations. Read about their Pre-Fixe Menu on Yelp and it looked promising. We found they don't offer it unless you ask for it, which was rather tacky. Service was spotty and unattentive. Ambiance was not conducive to fine dining, between the TV at the bar, the loud music, and the tables practically next to the casino floor. Between my husband and I, we tried 6 different dishes plus the seared Foie Gras. The best dish besides the Foie Gras was their Caesar Salad, which was very authentic and made from scratch. The Blue Cheese Souffle was pleasant but nothing to write home about. It needed some honeycomb to counter the saltiness of the cheese. The Seared Foie Gras also needed a sweet sauce in addition to the sourish berry sauce. The Roasted Petaluma Chicken badly needed a sauce. It was served next to some mushy pasta (I think that was what it was.) It's only been a couple of weeks and I can barely remember the dishes we ate. It was just that, a forgettable meal. Nothing was bad, yet nothing stood out. I recently learned they are closing soon. That explained the lack of attention to detail in a place like this.
