Location review insights for California, United States, Restaurants

$200 for 5 people & everyone was disappointed! Came here to meet family & were blown away by the view! Service was great but the table needed wiping down & we waited, despite a reservation and plenty of open tables. It looked like there were plenty of waitstaff. Valet parking was twelve dollars with no other option but that. Ordered $28 chicken breast, $14 garlic noodles, & $20 shrimp, among other things. The chicken was tough & dry, the noodles were spicy (which was not indicated on the menu), and there were only 4 shrimp on the plate. Flat water was free but sparkling was ten bucks! Diet Coke was five for a glass. Everyone left still very hungry and we ate when we got back to the room. For that kind of money I expect to be taking home a doggie bag and raving over the taste, amount, and presentation. Unimpressed and would not recommend.

100% Overrated We visited Sushi Gen for dinner tonight after reading lots of good reviews from others. It’s either my expectation was too high or the service & food quality wasn’t good. We had to wait over 40 minutes to be seated. After we sat down it took about 15 minutes to order the drinks. Waitress was very slow and not organised. We had question about different dishes and waitress didn’t have much knowledge. When it comes to food, we were very disappointed with the quality of food. It wasn’t really authentic Japanese food. I have had a lot better Japanese food in other Japanese restaurants in the area, such as Tenno. We didn’t even finish our dinner because we didn’t like it much. I disagree with other good reviews about this restaurant. And probably would not go back again FYI: they charge house Sauvignon Blanc $70 for a half bottle. Definitely overrated.

2 of our 5 diners were an average, others goof to very good. It isn’t as good as previous visit promised but still ranks as a solid neighbor restaurant with high prices. Halibut undercooked and average gnocchi while chicken and Bologna’s shined Very good burrata salad and bruschetta Desserts were excellent, terrific bread pudding Service average, wine list unremarkable and pricey. Parking is AWFUL.

06/2024 Visited on a weekend evening. Pretty busy but not overly so. I ordered the Hokkaido Scallop, Unagi, and Ika Nigiri, along with the Spicy Salmon Hand Roll and Taiyaki Ice Cream dessert. Overall, it ran me about $50. The food was just "alright." None of the food was morish and the price I paid didn't feel justified. The hand roll was pathetic - I could not tell that there was salmon in there... And the Taiyaki Ice Cream was literally just one of those ice creams you could buy a four-pack of but charged three times more. This restaurant serves Nigiri and Handrolls, but I'd say stick with the regular rolls and save the specialty sushi for a dedicated omakase restaurant. And absolutely skip the dessert... Atmosphere - The restaurant's main appeal is that it runs as a "bullet train" restaurant. However... when I came to visit, it wasn't running! And because of this (or not), service was pretty slow! It took 20 minutes to get my food... The decor of the restaurant was okay... I guess I expected more eating at a Sushi restaurant in San Francisco. Would I eat here again? Absolutely not, lol... Way too expensive for what you get and there are no promises of their marketing draw (bullet train).

A cool place with friendly servers and reasonably priced drinks. Dog friendly, as food is not cooked and distributed inside the bar. The kitchen is in the same building, but you have to go next door to purchase it. You can bring the food into the bar. Google said parking was not bad but that was a lie. Parking was awful at 5 pm on a Thursday. Pool table and cool crowd.

Very disappointing Service was inadequate and indifferent. We waited over 10 minutes at our table with no one acknowledging that we were there. I finally got someone to come over who happened to be a manager. He was somewhat apologetic and we ordered drinks, (he never came by again to follow up even though he was at the next table a lot, I’m guessing since they had ordered several bottles of wine.) Our waiter finally showed up and I ordered the Caesar salad which was supposed to have hearts of palm in it by mine had none. Another person dropped off something on the table without making eye contact or saying anything. As we were finishing dinner someone else walked by the table and literally dropped the dessert menu on the table and continued walking. Lastly, another gentleman came by, presumably another manager and after asking how everything was and being told about all of the above he was also apologetic. He ended up comping us for the salad, which wasn’t the point, and asking if he could bring us a dessert, which we declined. It all felt a little too late and while the food was good, not amazing, the overall service and attentiveness was terrible. There are too many other restaurants in this category that have much better service and actually make the customer feel appreciated. Do not recommend.

Make sure you dont arrive nearly 2 hours before closing or they will turn you away cause they don't want to serve people durring open hours if they simply dont feel like it. We walked up, after searching for places to eat and walking 30 mins very excited to eat there, with pleanty of HOURS before they say they closem and some rude guy, likely a manager, said "we already made last call so we are not serving anyone else." It was actually kinda bizzare to be turned away hours before somewhere closes. But they were pretty dead on a weekend so the food probably sucks as bad as the service. Yard house right next door was also open (ACTUALLY Open when they say they are) and the service staff was great, the food was even better. Highly recommend going to Yard House instead! Hope Lazy dog goes out if business soon, since they have not enough customers anyway & turn the few they do have away for no reason, and apparently have no idea how to run a business. Dont say you're open, and let people waste their time walking or driving to your location, then turn them away hours before you close. Super messed up! I'd give zero stars if i could
