"Rawfish Tuesdays" are what my girlfriends and I like to call our specials reunion dinners together. Tuesdays are typically when sushi is the most fresh and restaurants aren't super crowded. This week we decided on THE Fish, a new restaurant that opened in West Village to average reviews and little fan- fair.
The atmosphere is sexy: dark lighting, red velvet booths, and a slick bar that would impress anyone upon walking in. But it lacked attitude, spunk, and originality.
The food was just ok, and took a little longer than expected. When you have six hungry females, already drinking bottles of the house wine, you need to step up to the challenge. One friend never received a straw, the other, missing a wine glass.
When they ran out of the house Pinot Noir, instead of offering an upgrade for the same price, he simply brought the wine list to choose something different. When you run out of the house Pinot, you want to compensate for your mistake, correct? The waiter had not a clue.
Upon finishing our meal, many of us were not satisfied and we opted to order more. It took 30 minutes to retrieve our bill, and another 30 to bring the cards back. He actually held my friend's change to the side, instead of returning it to her, because "he wasn't sure what to do with it..." Seriously? After complaining, they did nothing to compensate us for our time.
The whole experience was a downer, other than the fact I was with my good friends.
Service: Slow, uneducated, not helpful
Best Dishes- Only outstanding roll of the night- The Cheeseburger roll (crab, avocado, cucumber inside topped w/ tuna, escolar, avocado & spicy sauce). The sashimi was too thinly sliced for the price. Overall the rolls had no personality, they all tasted the same and were very small.
Recommendation: Sushi Zushi, Oishii, Deep Sushi, Sushi Kyoto II, Yutaka, Tei Tei... get my point?

As apart of this dining experience, and the one who never received a straw after asking 3 times, (it's a freaking straw, don't you have them in your apron? Sorry, I prefer not to have ice rushing my face when I take a sip of water...) I would also like to say that though their Lobster and Crab crisps were tasty, they were far less than filling and $12 for 3 bitesize shellfish puffs that is just not something I am too wild about. I'll stick to Pei Wei crab wontons over these.
Now to the part where this experience just won't stop haunting us...
With their credit machines down, they finally ran our bills on knuckle busters. Being smart girls and not wanting our card numbers left on the receipt copies, we proceeded to black them out, thinking they would have their own records of this, right? Wrong. So, they begin hounding us all, (still questioning how they got my cell phone number) in the middle of our work days for our payment information or else, "we would hate to send a cash collector after you". Yeah, well I would hate to send the Department of Public Health after you for reports of oh I don't know, maybe a rat in the bathroom, or watching an employee come out of the bathroom stall with out washing their hands, or how about a hair in my rice?
I did not have my cell phone on me, it was in my car, I leave work at 6:15 to have 7 missed calls from them beginning at 12:15. SEVEN!!! I am a working professional, in a REAL job, are you really calling me repeatedly to help fix your restaurant's mistakes in the middle of my work day??? I understand the need to get $ allocated and I certainly am not the type to stiff a bill, but for the love, let's be a little professional about it.
