We had a friend in for the holidays and we wanted to treat her to a great time so we picked Yoshi's because we have had such good experiences in Oakland so we figured we would give the SF branch a go.I don't want to run down a long list of things that we felt was wrong but I'll give the short list.Being a Japanese restaurant you'd think they would serve some blend of Choya NOPE! You'd think being a Japanese restaurant they would have a good selection of SAKE, NOPE! For the folks that just can't handle chop sticks like our guest, the hired help gave the person dirty look when she asked for a fork, they almost refused to bring a fork to the table for our guest.There were 3 people in our party and the kitchen could not even get our meals sent to our table together. We are understanding about this but while 2 of us eat our main meal the other sat there for a tad more than 15 min. waiting.I think the chef thinks we all are on a diet or something or there is a food shortage in America, this is / was the ONLY restaurant I have ever been to that has large plates but puts a spec on them.The only good thing I can say is the food was good, well cooked and well prepared.If the chef would have put more on our plates I could have forgiven all the other issues we ran into.The desert list came and it was as lean as the plates of food we just almost enjoyed. I tried the key lime pie and I can tell you it was no key lime pie!I am from Florida and I know my key lime pie, I make it myself, what Yoshi's put on my plate was some twisted mess of lemon/lime.Our guest never has had key lime pie before so after that poor experience we went to a shop that sells wonderful key lime pie and indulged our quest there with a real desert!Anyway the bill came and it was a tad over $280 for three without a tip.We are not the type of folks to write reviews and we are pretty easy customers to satisfy but our bad experience at Yoshi's was just too much not to take action on.
Pros: Nice atmosphere
Cons: just about everthing else
