Our waitress did a great job. Food was good. Value was above average. We had the last seating for lunch. They needed to turn over the restaurant for dinner. They never rushed us and were very accomodating.

This is our second time at RA. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They could have been more attentive, we had to flag down our server a couple of times. The food is good, but pricy. My major complaint is not having ingredients listed on the menu for each roll. Not all sushi places make rolls the same way. And if you are knew to sushi, how are you supposed to know what is in them? I have only seen this on the east coast. The west coast provides the ingredients of each roll. It's super helpful.

We always love the food and service at Blue Ribbon. Last night we had the hamachi collar and the seared red snapper -- both absolutely outstanding! We also enjoyed the bean sprouts and watercress salad (warm!!), a favorite, and two of our favorite rolls -- the crunchy tuna and the salmon ikura roll. Terrific service from Nadia, delicious mango sorbet for dessert, and a lovely wine that went great with the meal -- the Rhone. While certain areas in the restaurant can be very noisy, we were in a booth just outside the main dining room and it was perfect. Fantastic meal all around.
