    We did not have a good experience for me beginning at the time when I attempted to order a drink for the female bartender who had lots of attitude (which I am not sure why because we at a 6PM dinner reservation) and the bar and restaurant was relatively empty. We had a pretty good waiter who my friend requested because he had been at the CM several times. Things were going smoothly during the initial part of the dinner. Our wines were decanted nicely and the appetizers and sushi came out from the kitchen very timely. However, that’s when things took an unexpected twist which resulted in more than an hour wait for the entrees… at this point I was done and ready to leave. The waiter was still very polite but should have alerted us as to what was happening with the kitchen and their internal ordering process. A couple of my friends spoke with the Manager and he endeavored to apologize for the inconvenience then offer a glass of wine… As I mentioned earlier, we were basically done and there was not much that was going to change that due to the lengthy and lack of communication. I personally will not be back… There are too many wonderful places to dine in SF where you would never experience this lack of attention and communication at these prices. We spent over $300 per person on just food…Crazy!!!!!!

    Service wasn’t so great. The waiter didn’t understand our drink orders at all.

    The food is very good, but not exceptional, so overpriced. The place is cool and hip, probably why the high prices. I was vexed by the fact the restaurant required a usd 50 deposit to hold the reservation but then we didn’t end up getting a table until half an hour after the reservation. If a fee is required to reserve, the restaurant at least should be punctual.
