Another day, another sushi place. I have to admit, it looked fun with all the dishes on the conveyor-like belt but that is where the good stuff ends. The edamame was almost cold, the tuna not so good, and the stuff that was good was not GOOD (like sushi should be, come on we are talking about raw fish here- no room for error). Won't be going again.

The beer is awesome, let's get that out of the way. Lots of great draft choices. Their food is only OK, can get the same quality at any corporate casual dining. But dressing their waitresses up as sex objects is a bridge to far for me. Sorry, if I wanted sex appeal there's a strip club close, I'm sure.

What a great sushi place. The staff was so nice, the sushi chefs proficient in their art and the prices were very reasonable. I will be going again and again.

Looking at this place from the outside makes you want to run to the yuppie filled bars a half a block away. But walk in an you know why it is so popular. The inside is cozy and welcoming, the service wonderful, and the food just phenomenal. The egg rolls are nothing like you have ever tasted. I had the sesame chicken and it was just wonderful. I'll be back again.

DuClaw's has a nice selection of beers and their service is always awesome. The only reason they get 3 stars is because their food is hit and miss. Anything with crab is well made and the apps are tasty. I like Fish and Chips and have had it twice there, once not so good, once really good. Also, their kids menu has no creativity and is prepackaged frozen stuff. If you're in the area, go and have a Venom beer and an app, you will enjoy.

This place is getting a one star rating not for its food, which was OK, not for its IPA which was better than OK- but for its SERVICE. I was there with the Social Media Club, trying to hold a conversation with other members and the music was so loud that we had to ask the server THREE TIMES to turn it down. Which he said they did, but we could hear they didn't. It was so dark you could hardly read the menus, and again, don't try to have a conversation with anyone. We even asked to go upstairs where it might be a bit more quiet, but were refused because it was closed. They made no effort to accommodate us, and therefore, we will make no effort to use them in the future for events.

Great grouper! The alcohol is a little pricey but the selection was wonderful. There was a great live singer in the lounge adding to the atmosphere. We started with calamari was great. However, skip the shrimp cocktail, too expensive for the four shrimp that came with it. Service was great.

While it's a little boxy from the outside, inside it is wonderful. The staff is gracious and extremely helpful. The rooms wonderful, the wifi free, the newspaper (I had three choices!) at my door in the morning. I cannot rave about this hotel enough, it is what customer service should be!

Stayed there for blogher. The rooms are nice and clean, typically small as most NY hotels are, but even if they discount the rooms they nickel and dime you EVERYWHERE. 12.00 to receive boxes, 15.00 to move your luggage. It's and OK experience, but beware the add-ons.
