Occupation: Food Critic

I had no plans to become a food critic (I wanted to be a ballerina), but I also have no choice because my husband likes to try different restaurants.  So, yes I am still eating and there wasn't a rain cloud in sight.  We have a thing for  sushi, it's a love hate relationship.  I draw the line at raw meats so I pretty much love anything sushi related that is fried.  I have friends that would turn their noses up at the sushi that I eat and tell me that I have no right to call my self a sushi eater.  To them I say, "On the menu it is under the category of sushi, and these people are Asian and would know".  So to make a long rant short, I really liked the decor of this restaurant (more than I liked the sushi).

Beautiful, isn't it?

The sushi looked quite delectable but the rice wasn't as fresh as I like it.  I understand that a lot of preparation goes into making sushi.  It is a craft.  Sometimes though it shows a little more pride in your food,  if you take the time and prepare things that morning instead of pulling it out of the fridge where it has been sitting there for  2-3 days.  Just saying.  When I go to a restaurant I want to enjoy the food as well as the atmosphere, I can't get full looking at paintings and sculptures.  It would be nice if I could, I'm sure that the camels would have appreciated it.  So here is a picture of the sushi, do not be deceived by the presentation.

My husband loved it and will surely not appreciate my opinion of this restaurant, but it is my blog and this may not be America I still exercise my right of freedom of speech.  I liked the sushi  served at the Ocean Basket and John Dory's thus far.  I'll have to post when we eat at John Dory's again (and we will) their sushi was outstanding.  Until we feast again.......
