Best Sushi Restaurants in Batavia

I went to BASH on 12/22/2014 with my daughter, her husband and 7 year old son. I was a bit surprised as I was lead through the first floor up about 15 or more steps to the second floor. My daughter is recovering from a stroke and I told the hostess she could not handle stairs. She informed me they have a service elevator she could use so I called my daughter immediately to let her know. If anyone has physical limitations, request first floor seating. I was surprised they put us on the second floor as they knew ahead of time that this was a birthday celebration; a bit disappointing as it lacks ambiance and is quite noisy compared to the first floor. This is my only criticism of our first-time experience. The server was very sweet and the service was more prompt than I anticipated since this was on the weekend before Christmas. All four of us loved the food and it was plentiful! The crab rangoon and pork gyoza appetizers were gobbled up. My grandson had the Mac Bento and declared the mac & cheese his all time favorite when he had left-overs the next day. My daughter had sushi which she declared delicious. My son-in-law and I had different burgers with sea salt fries and we both took home half of our meal as the burgers are huge, piled up with meat and also delicious. Because it was a birthday celebration, they offered my daughter her choice of dessert at 1/2 price; a nice surprise as opposed to many restaurants complimentary little token desserts. She got the ice/cream brownie which was out of this world and huge--and I mean really huge! The four of us couldn't finish it. Other than the second floor issue/disappointment, we are all excited to go back here again as everything else was top notch.

Blue Sushi Sake Grill has the best sushi maki rolls; especially vegetarian and vegan options. Every single option we ordered was beautifully presented and delicious. We also ordered Brussels sprouts and wontons as starters and they were phenomenal. My only negative was the noise level but it seems almost impossible nowadays to find quiet restaurants where one can hear each other speak. The server was excellent.

Our chef was very personable, the food was quite yummy, and the entertaining cooking experience was a lot of fun, as per usual.

We had a wonderful time, but at the end of the meal we had difficulty signing into our QR code Lettuce Eats account to get our points. I don't think we ever were able to figure it out (my husband had to try even though it was his birthday and I didn't want him to have to deal with the bill.) Please streamline this and/or just give paper bills. Thank you.

Great food, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience as always. Swordfish is always generous with samples and on top of the whole dining experience!
