We ate lunch a new sushi bar and grill this afternoon. The food was wonderful. I had miso soup that was extremely tasty and then a bento box lunch with teryaki salmon that was also delicious. It came with a little cabbage salad, some rice, California rolls and some tempura. The tempura was beautifully cooked. It was super light and crispy and the sauce they served with it was salty and a little bit sweet... delicious!

Unfortunately, the service was just dismal. It was really too bad because I'm pretty sure the little girl who waited on us wanted to do a much better job, but the restaurant was extremely busy and she didn't seem to have much experience. She apologized a lot but it was still difficult to get things like soy sauce or my dad's beer.

Apparently this is typical of this town. New restaurants open and EVERYBODY goes but the talent pool for wait staff is very small so the service is never good. Such a shame... it mars an otherwise wonderful meal.

I did make the mistake of wearing a white shirt today, though. White shirt + soy sauce = brown spots on white shirt. I swear, it wasn't even that I dribbled! The shirt JUMPED out towards the soy sauce. Really!
