PROBLEM: We went for sushi last night to Oishii Sushi. We had read some of the reviews about Oishii Sushi, saw that they were good, and decided to buy a Groupon for it. The restaurant itself was quite lovely with its side open to let in a calming breeze. It is also in a good location with plenty of people walking outside and with it being near to Mount Royal.

We found that the sushi was OK, but we must confess to being a little disappointed given the other positive reviews (some of the other reviews say ""in a city not known for good sushi"", but we must uphold all sushi restaurants to the same universal standard regardless of whether they're in Japan or Nunavut). My main issue with the sushi is that a few pieces fell apart when we picked them up with the chopsticks, indicating that the sticky rice was perhaps not as sticky as it should have been. Also, I'm a bit used to some sushi pieces having a hint of wasabi inside for an extra little ""zing"", but no such zing was to be found inside these pieces. Some of them tasted a little plain, perhaps not being as fresh as we would have hoped for. One of the shrimp tempura pieces was somewhat strangely not fully connected. Finally, the prices were not as good as we would have hoped for given that the sushi didn't measure up to our universal standard.

In summary, we will be looking for other sushi restaurants in Montreal, but we might find ourselves back at Oishii Sushi if we do not find better ones.

SOLUTION: NEGATIVE

PROBLEM: How lame am I going to sound if I say that this is the biggest bowling alley I've ever seen in my life? A lot? Too bad. It is.

We arrived late, but that was ok because the place is open 24/7.

After forking over cash-ola and one personal shoe (no joke--it's collateral for their precious bowling shoes), we headed to lane number 6,043 to begin our game.

Unfortunately the game was stalled because finding a ball to fit my delicate frame proved far more difficult that I had expected. It would seem that the majority of their clientele are very strong, skinny fingered children. We eventually found adequate balls, but it was an arduous search.

The alley was both kid and adult friendly (thank god) and I'll keep that in mind if I ever lose it and bring my kid to Vegas.

SOLUTION: POSITIVE

PROBLEM: I have enjoyed going to vogue bistro for quite awhile, and usually the food and service are above par. This evening was not the case. We began with the fritto misto, which is usually a favorite. Tonight, the calamari was chewy and rubbery, and the whole thing was so mashed together, it was difficult to find anything individually. My salad was just meh, as was my friend's. My friend's son ordered the steak medium, and it came out pretty rare/medium rare. It took our server forever to come back with the check and since we were trying to get to an event, this was annoying. For the price, the food was not up to standard.

I am not sure I will go back there. There are plenty of other places around where I can get better for my money.

SOLUTION:
NEGATIVE
