Stingray Sushi Bar + Asian Grill

We recently dined at this restaurant and had a somewhat mixed experience. The food was undeniably the highlight of my visit, earning a well-deserved 4 out of 5 stars. The dishes we ordered were expertly prepared, and the flavors were spot on. I particularly enjoyed the seasonal vegetables, which were cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the presentation was visually appealing.

However, the service was a different story altogether. Unfortunately, our server seemed to be having a bad day, and it reflected in their attitude towards us. They were dismissive, curt, and borderline rude. When we asked for refills on our drinks, it took an inordinate amount of time to arrive, and when we politely pointed out the delay, we were met with a sigh and a hint of annoyance. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, especially when you're paying premium prices for a meal. If I had to rate the service, I'd give it a disappointing 2 stars.

It's a shame, really, because the food is genuinely good, and with a little more effort on the service front, this place could be a real gem. As it stands, I'd recommend it to foodies who can overlook some attitude, but others might want to think twice before making a reservation.

$$-$$$. Would recommend for those looking for happy hour or family sharing options mixed with traditional Japanese cuisine. Since it's acquisition by Atlas, Stingrays has seen some recent changes with a smaller sushi menu and expanded family sharing orientation. While the food was prepared nicely I didn't find it extraordinary to fit the price requested. Picky eaters may have a harder time with menu selection (while still diverse) is now more limited. The service was on par and the drink menu even more so offering a wide selection for my Sake lovers out there!

For the business, while this new menu insights a more PF Chang's style family orientation (which I'm interested to see it's results), I miss the old Mexican-Japanese cross fusion that set you apart from the traditional aspect of the cultured pearl (which is right down the block).

Dined at Stingray for the first time tonight, and our server Bri was amazing! She was welcoming and fun and answered all of our (very many) questions. Great recommendations, wonderful atmosphere, and delicious food!
