"I 'm a GrubHub delivery driver who picked up an order from here at about 7 PM on the evening of August 31. Now, listen. I worked in restaurants for years when I was younger, so I understand that 's the height of the dinner rush, and I understand orders don 't always come out on time. So that 's not what I 'm upset about. What I 'm upset about is the fact that I walked in there and stood there like an idiot for ten minutes and nobody said a word to me, and it was like I was invisible. I eventually had to pick out an employee and make eye contact with them for an uncomfortable amount of time just so they would finally acknowledge my existence, and I could tell them I was here to pick up a GrubHub order for whatever the customer 's name was. I don 't care how busy you are. All you have to do is say hello to the person, say how can I help you , and then after the person answers say sorry for the delay, someone will be right with you . That takes like ten seconds total, and it would 've made all the difference in the world. And then, it also only takes a short time to poke your head in the kitchen and ask what 's the ETA on the takeout order. See, what I guess a lot of restaurants don 't realize is that GrubHub drivers work on tight schedules. At any given time, I 've usually got multiple different orders in my possession at the same time, and that is especially true during the dinner rush. So like I said, it 's not a question of the order coming out late. I can deal with that. What I can 't deal with is being ignored or left in the dark. In order to figure out whether I should wait at the restaurant or if I should deliver one of my other orders and then come back, I need information from you. And if you 're treating me like the Invisible Man, then I 'm not getting that information, and you 're inconveniencing everyone including your own customer who I 'm trying to deliver to. Please do better in the future. Service: 1"

"Now, onto the issues we encountered: the Caesar salad dressing tasted more like vinaigrette than the traditional Caesar, and although the presentation was lovely, the flavor did not impress me. The crusty bread slices were unimpressive and not worth mentioning. I received an il Mito gift card for Christmas, which I showed to our waiter at the beginning of our meal. He informed me that it could only be used at the Tosa location, not in Delafield. When I received the gift card, I was told it would be accepted at the Zesti location in Hartland (which is owned by the same company), but we quickly learned that wasn’t the case. I called il Mito in Tosa to confirm whether the card could be used there. Shortly after that conversation, the Delafield location opened with the same name, same owner, and same chef, so I called again to verify if the card was valid there too. I was assured three times that it was. However, when we went to use it today, we were told no. We asked for the manager, who was also our server, and he stated that I had been misinformed due to different computer systems. Luckily, he agreed to accept my gift card this time. However, he later returned to our table to inform me that there was no balance on the card. I showed him the receipt, and he took both the card and receipt with him. When it came time to pay, he said he would honor the card again but asked for my name and phone number “just in case.” What was that for? I found it quite offensive and made sure to take a picture of the card and receipt before he took them away, just in case they thought we were trying to scam them. Overall, the meal was decent, the atmosphere very nice, and the prices fair. But the hassle surrounding the gift card really detracted from our experience."

"I really enjoyed happy hour at Sushi Pop. I walked in right at 5pm, which is highly recommended because the restaurant isn 't that big and it gets CROWDED QUICKLY. Happy hour is from 5 6:30pm Wednesday through Friday and 3 6:30pm Saturday and Sunday at the bar and bar tables ONLY. I ordered a few things from the happy hour menu and they were YUMMY so I 'll get into it. I got the cocktail of the day, which was a gin based drink called Love Me 2 Ways , and it was very fruity, sweet and delicious. We were off to a great start so I tried to Salmon Kobachi. It was like ceviche, but with cubed salmon and avocado. I didn 't really like it, there was zero flavor. With mild tasting foods like raw salmon and avocado, you gotta add some type of savory element to it, maybe some Thai chili or mango or eel sauce. It WAS fresh though, and I can taste the love in the preparation. Next was the Bao, which was by far my favorite small plate. I ordered the Crispy Fried Chicken Bao which also had spicy plum sauce and apple slaw on it. Sounds weird, but literally tastes like Thai Chili sauce. It was SOOOO good, all of the flavors were so perfect together. They were like $4 so I got 3 of them, definitely a must try. My drink was done by this point so I ordered a daiquiri. It wasn 't exactly what I was expecting, and I don 't feel like it was worth it, even on the happy hour menu. It was $9 and I finished it in 2 gulps. The cocktail of the day might be your best bet there. Then I decided to order some rolls since this is a sushi spot after all. I ordered the Spicy Tuna roll and the Coco roll. The Coco roll was definitely my favorite. Such a bold idea to put toasted coconut flakes on what would be just a normal shrimp tempura roll. I usually don 't care for coconut, but they did this so well. The Spicy Tuna roll was average, nothing special to be honest but still very good. I 'm super excited to come back for their brunch they keep talking so much about. And I 'll definitely come back on a normal night to try out their dinner menu, looks really good. A few things to note is that they do have a location in Oviedo in case Winter Park is a stretch for you, the menu, however, may differ. There 's only free street parking and, again, the restaurant is small, so I would probably come at an off time maybe very early and mid week. If you do come at a busy time, reservations are highly recommended. When I went, the bartenders were also serving the bar tables surrounding the bar. So if you 're going for happy hour, patience is a virtue. In summary, I did really enjoy my time here and would definitely recommend."
