I really wanted to love this place because if anyone has read any of my reviews I love sushi and seafood in general so a new Sushi spot is something I always welcome... That being said I cant give my personal thumbs up to Eight. We decided to try this place out last Friday at my urging because the reviews I saw were pretty good. We arrived at about 8pm and though there were people the place wasn't very crowded at all. As other reviewers have stated the decor in the inside is quite nice. We asked if we could sit at the bar since no one was at the entire bar and the tables they had free were very low for my tall companion. We sat a the bar and waited for 10 minutes before we asked could we put our order in. Did I mention NO ONE was at the bar. We put in a simple order bottle of Sake, order of egg rolls to share, 2 orders of miso soup, and 2 orders of dancing eel roll. Waiter poured and spilled some of the Sake. 20mins later our eggrolls came out... bland and not that tasty though they were hot. Another 15 mins went by and we had to ask about our soup. 10 minutes later One bowl of soup arrived?? When we inquired about the second bowl of soup we got an apology from the waiter that he was confused. When we placed our order I ordered my soup and roll first. When the waiter went to my partner he said "I want the same thing, soup and the same roll"....so not sure how that could be confused... But hey no harm no foul. The Second bowl of soup comes out 15 minutes later. No tofu, no seaweed, just 2 slivers of mushroom and water?? We sent that bowl of soup back. Another 15 minutes go by with no roll. We ask again and are told its coming.. 5 minutes later ONE roll arrives. The waiter never corrected his mistake. After a lot of apologizing...we just asked for the check. The roll was gross, chewy, small, with ONE piece of eel on the entire roll. By that time too much time had passed to find another sit down restaurant-mainly because my partner had to work in the AM and it was much too late. He was forced to eat a turkey sandwich when we got home so he wouldn't starve . The one star I give is to the manager on duty that night. He was apologetic and over all very nice..however we will not return for a do over.
