crappy

ok forget what I said bellow, I just got back from the resturant at the grand hotel, if you are in Vienna some day do NOT go there, the service was very good (admittedly very very good) but the sushi was way below sub par, terrible for 30+ euros in fact. There was a small table with 3 trays, one all tamago (not bad), the other had some nigiri and maki selections, one was some sort of quasi California role with only avocado and the rest rice!, and then a huge bowl of pickled ginger or Gari (NOT made in house i might add...if it was then it was not very good); then across from that was a little stand made to look like a street sushi stall (yattai i think) and there were plates of the nigiri that had the same selections on all of them that you could take, had the regulars, salmon, shrimp, some different white fishes, no eel....well it was just not good, not good at all...the fish was stiff and bland and they were poorly formed, an utter disaster. Carolyn and I have had sushi that was light years better at a one room shack resturant in Asheville than in the Capital of Austria, in one of its most prestigious and expensive hotels....much better sushi...sublime really.... I waited all weekend to eat out for this? terrible...they should be ashamed of themselves for claiming to be so good, but at least it was a nice walk this morning, its nice and quite and there are not that many people out, so that was nice.
