WE DID NOT LIKE THIS PLACE, WE ARE NEVER GOING BACK...

by Laanhi

Me and my girlfriends showed up - there were all these seats, and they said they were all reserved, wtf? I've never been treated like this before by a bunch of "greeters" who obviously lack people skills. The bar was open so we tried to order drinks and were wondering when their "buffet" was going to open up - they said it was already being served and we were surprised with how unappetizing it appeared...going back to the drinks, the bartender gave us our drinks but we couldn't order any food because it seemed like nobody wanted to take our orders...what's up with this place? I hated it and do not recommend this type service for anyone - and the decor is so very 90's. YUCK!

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Everything, including parking and entrance

Best Sushi Restaraunt in Dallas

by 084430

If you are ready for an absolutely killer sushi evening, this is your place. The quality and variety of the sushi is top notch, and the presentation superb. They have a decent sake list as well. The wait staff were friendly, and I really didn't mind the extra 15 minute wait for my table on a Saturday night as the bar never seems to lack interesting characters. Probably the best sushi in Dallas, beating out Nobu and Teppo. Can't wait to go back.

• Pros: Quality of food, service, nice neighborhood
• Cons: a little pricey

$500??

by jafareview

I had originally gone here for a friends birthday, and was impressed with how it looked, but over all just sort of another sushi bar.

When it came time for my girlfriends birthday, I was checking out different restaurants to see who could seat our party. I went to Steel since my friend had gone there and said that they had no minimum orders to seat a party that large. What I heard was completely different. They require a $500 drink minimum to reserve the private room that my friend had received for free. $500 just on drinks. Not $500 for drinks and food.

When I pulled up I was coming from spending the day at the Dallas world aquarium, and was appropriately dressed for that. I personally think the only reason I was told $500 minimum in person (which amazingly when I called back, was NOT told that.) was because of what I was wearing.

They need to figure out that rich people in Dallas don't dress like it. Maybe treat everyone with more respect, and you won't get burned.

(Btw, we went to Kenichi instead and it was 10 times better.)

• Pros: Nice red light
• Cons: Everything else.
