"Made a reservation for 9:30 pm. They require a credit card in order to charge a fee for no shows or last minute cancelations, which gives the impression that this restaurant expects you to respect their time. We arrived on time and were told our table was not ready and to wait at the lounge bar and have a drink. The lounge bartender had a few customers, but he did not greet me for about seven minutes. I ordered a cosmo for my date, who had just come back from the restroom and was surprised I had not ordered her drink for her already. The bartender made something that visually passed for a cosmo but was made with Ciroc. With the automatic 22% tip, that non-cosmo cost more than $20. We waited about twenty minutes for our table. When we were seated at around 9:50 pm, we had to wait a long time to be greeted and for drinks to arrive and then to order food. We asked the server what sake they had but she did not know if they had sake at this Asian Fusion restaurant. It took her a while to find out and we ordered the bigger of the two options. No service of the sake was offered, much leas any knowledge of the sake, but 22% gratuity on the $60 bottle of sake was automatically added to the check. We ordered food, the three courses we got arrived at a good pace. The food was good. After dinner I asked for the dessert menu and the server told me the two options. I asked for a minute to think about it but she never followed up. I could not get her attention so I asked another employee for the check. I waited 5 minutes then flagged the same other employee again. The server eventually came to the table and handed me the portable credit card machine. No printed check was offered. I reviewed the check on the screen and tapped my card but forgot to see if the tip was included. I asked the server and she said the 22% included was split between her and the staff and I could leave her more. I did not. The atmosphere was slick but not professional."
